It always amuses me to see the armchair economists on an Internet forum think that they know better than economists with much more information and experience.
Got to hand it them they have done such a wonderful job over the last few decades.
Perhaps they simply can't see the wood for the trees as they have simply planted too many.
Having much more information doesn't necessarily lead to better results you just lose sight of the original problem."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

A recession happens when there is a slowdown in economic activity or there is a business cycle contraction.Which is debateable when you can have two equally experienced economists with totally opposite views on how to solve a problem.
If these people were so useful, why do recessions ever happen?
It really is a simple explanation.
This is why you post mutterings on an Internet forum and aren't an economist.0 -

Why do we bother paying highly pad economists in the first place if they can't do anything about it?"If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

Who said they are highly paid?
You obviously have a big issue about anyone who earns large amounts of money.
What would define as highly paid?
Are they mostly poorly paid?"If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

Just people who earn large sums without achieving anything of any value.Who said they are highly paid?
You obviously have a big issue about anyone who earns large amounts of money.
How many publicly funded professional economists forecasted the global crash with any accuracy?
Why are the ones that failed still employed?0 -

Ask the armchair economist.
You were the one that suggested they weren't all highly paid.
You must therefore have a view of what is highly paid."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....
