Beware of economists who say all the right things now, but whose career histories show them having done all the wrong things in the past.
It is apparent that at least a few of you newer posters ARE paying attention to the details of the last 30 years of economic history.
The economy we have today is the result of the COMBINED tax, trade, and (lack of) regulatory policies we've had in place (or not in place) through both Democratic and Republican administrations.
Both parties OWN their share of the mess the world is in today.
When somebody tells you that they trust a Democratic or a Republican economist, you should remind them that being a both a political partisan AND a real economist is impossible.
