Economists' track record in politics- how credible are they?

“Economist”

not even a real job

Worse than the average weatherman or liberal posters

quote:

---

In 2020 Biden claim that 200 economists had signed on to his economic plan.

In 2024 Kamala Harris claim that 400 economists had signed on to her economic plan.

Reminiscent of the 51 intelligence experts that declared the Hunter Biden laptop was a Russian hoax

And the infectious disease experts and doctors that declared the best way to fight a mild flu was to destroy the global economy.

Don’t forget the 99% of scientists that claimed climate change would have resulted in climate catastrophe by now.

You also have the issue of the raw numbers not mattering

100 economists endorse your policies...out of how many?

Just like the population in general, economist have a bias. Most of them spent at least 4 years in a glorified indoctrination camp. If any economist disagrees with the premise that economic prosperity follows economic freedom then they are indoctrinated economist.

I’ve heard people argue that “economists think Mamdani’s policies are sound”.

There are laws of economics. Just ask Grok “which party platform more closely aligns with the laws of economics?” The republicans are more closely aligned. And if you look at the socialist elements of the democrat party which is ever-growing, that gap is continually widening.
