    Economists are generally pretty bad at two things:1) Predicting economic futures and 2) agreeing with other economists.

      That is the beauty of Harris-nomics. The large majority all agree her ideas are bad. Rarely can they agree on anything which shows how bad her ideas are.

        In my experience most economists support “conservative” financial policies, because less expenditure=good, despite the fact that historically the deficit increases under Republican led administrations.

        They love to embrace ridiculous policy approaches like “We need to reduce the cost of goods, but also let’s try to deport all the cheap labor.”
