Fine. You want to know why it always seems to be the same &#x27;clueless economists&#x27; churning out the same crap policy, resulting in crisis after crisis? Because politicians don&#x27;t know jack about economics. They&#x27;re a bunch of lawyers.<p>And you know why we have a bunch of economic dullards in power? Because the public (i.e. you), that keeps electing these idiots, can&#x27;t even tell the difference between &#x27;politics&#x27; and &#x27;economics&#x27;. Nor can they tell the difference between &#x27;share traders&#x27; and &#x27;economists&#x27;. Go ahead and look at the top thread on this page.<p>And you know what? It&#x27;s pretty clear you people (yes, you) are quite happy wallowing in your own ignorance, so that you can hold on to some smug sense of illusory superiority, while whining about &#x27;how you could do so much better than these so called professionals&#x27;. Meanwhile, the few non-political and sensible economists left in government have been tearing their hair out for years because the public keeps electing a bunch of economically illiterate jackass politicians who refuse to see reason (truly a representative democracy).<p>So I hope you all enjoy the economic disaster that is now upon us, once again. You&#x27;ve earned it.
