my bad...that was an example of how fallible my sentence construction can be ... we can agree about that one...

but my point is this: is economics more science or "art"


Social Science, I guess....and since it has the qualifier, 'social', it doesn't ever really have to commit to any scientific laws...social science is still a racket

What? Is it unanimous or is it consensus? Because even in science we can't seem to get agreement on a lot of theories.


Your comment about the impropriety of using the term "unanimous consensus" has caused me much hand-wringing and self-doubt...

I looked it up and it IS a legitimate term, so I've been validated, vindicated and legitimized!!!

BTW: Frank - I used to play tennis regularly, about once a week...loved the game, but it wrecked my knees (along with running)

Clinton got credit for daddy Bush’s recovery. Trump is getting it for Bammys. Some folks forget where the economy was at the end of dubbya.

I forget if this is the thread but no one that can ever be taken seriously ever thought Bush was behind 911 anymore than anyone that is/was a birther can be taken seriously. Both show a cognitive disability and ability to be easily duped. Dub ya is a decent man he just effed up Iraq and the economy. Obama was mediocre but liked the smell of his own farts.

We’ll find the impact of Trumpism in the near future. It’s too soon to claim victory or disaster in that regard.

His actions are embarrassing but his policy decisions have not yet been tested.
