Symptoms rather than causes — military pension plus more

I URGE readers to look up Paul Krugman's column in the New York Times published on May 19, 2023, titled "Will the US Economy Pull Off a

Soft Landing?" I found it thorough in explaining the factors and variables and in a lesson many opinion shapers and eminent people who like to opine should emulate, see his intellectual humility and openness is explaining the uncertainty underpinning his own views. This from a Nobel Prize-winning economist who was also rated the most accurate for economic forecasts and predictions.
