Something like what?
They do when they're working in the market because that's when they have to accept what is or they're out of a job. When economists work for universities or journalists they have to agree with their political faction or they're out of a job. I work in the market and when I talk economics with a Democrat at work we agree on everything having to do with economics.Why can't liberal and conservative economists agree? Why? Why can't they agree over something like this?
That would mean economists agree on which economic policies produce which economic outcomes. Those whose priority is political ideology will ignore economic reality and say whatever supports the party line....As they are seeking different outcomes, they want different policies.
Every field of study has differing opinions.
I think economics can be pretty easy if you look at the history of this nation you can see what worked and what didnt.
Stimulus worked in the great depression.
EVERYONE agreed it worked at the time.
The right just tried to rewrite history because history trash their failed ideas.
The left was proven correct by history.
So the right decided to change history.
What I find most amusing is that when even an economist as liberal as Christina Romer agrees with conservative economists that raising taxes in a weak economy is a bad idea...people like TruthMatters and so many of the rest of you progressives are still here day after day calling for tax hikes on the wealthy.
Sometimes economics boils down to just common sense...or the lack thereof...
That's what people say about a group they consider themselves superior to ("black people see things subjectively; they're not rocket scientists"), and then the bigots then turn right around and listen to blacks and copy what they do and say. Truman used to grouse about looking for a 'one-handed economist' so he wouldn't have to always hear about 'on the other hand', but after laughing at economists he always kept them on the payroll....it is a subjective topic. Not rocket science...

LOL, or at least that's how it sounds! Markets exist when two people have complete agreement about a prices and completely opposite needs. Stock sales happen when someone needs money and not his stocks and he finds someone needing the opposite. The person who doesn't want his stock will say that his stock is worth more than the money and the buyer will say that the stock is 'worth-less'.If that were true, there would be no markets. Everyone would agree about whether the economy was about grow or shrink, whether gold was going up or down, whether interest rates were rising or falling, and whether stocks were a good or bad investment. Nobody agrees about anything......when I talk economics with a Democrat at work we agree on everything having to do with economics.
They do, mostly. about 95% of the time.
The study of economics is the study of choice, both Personal and public. the problem lies is in what people consider important.
Only in the media and across the net is left and right clearly defined. The fact is most liberals have some conservative views and most conservatives will have some liberal views. We should have coalitions between the two parties so progress can be made on what little can be agreed on.What I find most amusing is that when even an economist as liberal as Christina Romer agrees with conservative economists that raising taxes in a weak economy is a bad idea...people like TruthMatters and so many of the rest of you progressives are still here day after day calling for tax hikes on the wealthy.

If Congress with an approval rating of just 9%, continues to accomplish nothing, the American people are going to question the need for such ineffective organization.
The fact is most liberals have some conservative views and most conservatives will have some liberal views.
