What is Bryan's Analysis?

I find it hilarious that 1 in 5 Americans are allegedly "undecided" on this question. It's hard to even know what "undecided" means in this context. Is there some additional information about the nature of phone books that is needed to answer this question?

I think I would trust a GMU economist, but the economics profession as a whole gets pretty low marks in my book.

How can a ligitimate economist completely ignore the unsustainable borrowing our government relies on? I do not pretend to know what our debt limit is, but economists should certainly be trying to find out and come up with some contingency plans when we reach it.

How can a ligitimate economist evaluate a stimulus package by starting with a dollar that is ready to be spent rather than looking at what happens to our balance of payments when we have to borrow the money from overseas?

How can a ligitimate economist stop evaluating the stimulus package when the immediate stimulation is done but ignore the problem of paying back the loans in coming years?

I have heard these people talk and they are not stupid. There must be something in what they are taught that makes them so narrow in their thinking.

The membership of the AEA played a central role in creating this economics Titanic.

And most of them had essentially no idea what they were creating.

They've knocked over and smashed the crystal case, and now they tell us they are just the ones to clean up the crystal shop.

If _only_ we could keep the AEA economists away from the economy.
