[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about we leave things to the experts? You aren’t an economist. I’m tired of d*psh!ts “doing their own research” and pontificating half understood ideas and conspiracy theories.[/quote]

Hey, yourself. I can’t follow the conversation if I don’t know the terms mean, and I ca t just nod in agreement or disagree if I don’t understand.

And experts?? There is so much cult of personality and politics at play, it is hard to know who is reliable if you don’t even know the basics.

You seem like someone who wants people to follow experts with an agenda without question. It is this attitude that led to “my team’s” lost in November. Don’t question, just do as your told. [/quote]

I don’t subscribe to political interpretations of the economy. I work with some of the country’s top economists. They don’t have a political agenda. What they do want is a functioning and healthy economy [b]that serves all Americans.[/b] The only cult of personality right now is centered around one particular individual who is hellbent on implementing ancient and outdated 19th century economic policy. Sadly your team has grossly maligned experts as all having a nefarious agenda, which is destroying our economy and country. Obviously you can read the more well known names in economic theory, ie Keynes, Friedman, Heckman, Duflo.[/quote]

DP.  The bold text is where the PP exposed a partisan bend (not that the rest of the reply didn't) and seems to indicate the PP only works with economists who DO have a political agenda.  Economists should point out where the economic system is failing or where it needs more support.  It is up to our elected leaders to consider this advice and take action.  Even assuming PP is correct, the PP makes an interesting point about "serving all Americans," which would imply that illegal immigrants should not be supported by the American economy (as they are not Americans).[/quote]
