That's generally true when writing any opinion piece, but Krugman is trying to take issues that require a PhD in economics to understand and explain them in 500 words to a newspaper audience. The only other alternative is to not cover economics.Krugman and oversimplification are two peas in a pod.

Oversimplification isn't quite the word I meant. More like cherrypicking, which is dangerous because he's the only one in the room with the PhD in economics (although I'm approaching one myself -- maybe -- and I'd disagree that the issues in question are of such complexity).
