Pretty poor article tbh.

Also, chuckled mightily at this


Our panel includes 22 economists from across the political spectrum. They identified themselves as left, right and center.

Unreal. This is what one if these "economists" said about Cruz's flat tax in comparison to the current progressive tax.


“It is likely to be much less progressive than our current system.” — Steve Kaplan

Really? You don't say?

Economists are clueless. Everything has gone wrong since these culturally deficient baboons were given a licence to run everything based on cost/benefit analyses and utilitarian dogmas.

Health economics is the worst: you have these inhuman robots trying to calculate the monetary worth of a human life, or each extra year of human life--this kind of inhumanity is one of the worst things about nationalised healthcare; life and death decisions being made by bureaucratic human calculators.

All you need to know about Economist is that for every revered one purposing policy for the left side there is a revered one proposing policy for the right.
