While
he acknowledged that the census’ decision was ill-timed, at least from a
political perspective, Krugman defended the integrity of government
statisticians and slammed Scarborough for his unsubstantiated charge.
“You can argue that the Census decision to change its health-insurance
questionnaire starting with the 2013 data wasn’t such a good idea,”
Krugman wrote, “in fact, I know a number of health care experts who are
dismayed.



“But it’s really quite vile to have talk-show hosts who
quite literally know nothing about the field,” Krugman continued, “other
than that they’re against covering the uninsured, casually accusing
Census of ‘cooking the books’ to support Obamacare.



“But remember,
MSNBC is the liberal network, right?” Krugman snarked. “Why don’t they
just hire Donald Trump and be done with it?”
