A hostile foreign power intervened in the presidential election, hoping to install Donald Trump in the White House. The Trump campaign was aware of this intervention and welcomed it. And once in power, Trump tried to block any inquiry into what happened.

Fixed it.
Isn't Krugman the guy who wanted declare war on Martians or something to fix the economy?
The Russians knew Hillary was a pushover from the "Russian Re-set" fiasco where they laughed at her over the translation on the reset button being wrong. lol! They feared Trump, and still do. His Energy policy alone is ruining their economy. Putin is livid. Good!

Trump the GOP and the donors do not give a chit about you. You are their useful idiots and tools...wake up!
If they really "give a chit" about the working class, how come they don't have social mixers with the proletariats at the everyday sports bar, or use their social clout to forge social connections so they can get better jobs (connections ARE a huge part of getting jobs, after all)? That as much as anything would help the working class get into the middle class.
In addition, AMT and Estate Tax affecting very few families were reduced:

Most rich taxpayers, however, are doing much better this year. The alternative-minimum tax, or AMT, dreaded by affluent Americans, lost much of its bite in the legislation. The estate tax, previously paid by just two out of every 1,000 taxpayers who die, is now even easier to avoid.
Overall, the Joint Committee on Taxation estimates the law delivers taxpayers who earn $1 million or more a tax cut of $37 billion in the next year alone.
Please cite the source of this crap or did you just make it up?
Seriously? Did you bother to click on the bloomberg link within the quote in the original post? Or should I have posted that same link TWICE in the same post. It's ALL RIGHT THERE - including the breakdown by income. Who did you think this tax cut was for? Answer: corporations and the billionaires. In addition, tax bill removed many middle class tax breaks including dependent exemptions which for some families is not anywhere near compensated for by the enhanced standard deduction. I, personally, am paying more dollars in tax on the same income. How can you not know this?

Why oh why did Obama knowingly allow Russia to influence our 2016 elections?
Because they were involved in the conspiracy to frame Trump.
