making gods of economists goes against history and common sense

The Mont Pelerin type, with increasing assist from other schools, distill wisdom from experience across the centuries. To ignore them is to court disaster.

Economics attempts to be mathematical

Not valid economics. Those presenting mathematical models are court jesters trying to construct excuses for what their masters (and ours) want to do to us.

it is absurd to rely on some economic theory

It is absurd and dangerous to ignore those rare intellects who have provided explanations why free markets and hard money are what deliver the goods. Ad hoc direction from on high always screws the pooch. It's a sad fact that few have familiarity with the reasoning supporting that view.

Gasparino notes Trump is taking advice from some informed guys; Laffer, (memory fails), Gingrich, et al. Should he win the presidency I'll hope he lets them ameliorate some of his crazy. With enough good advice and Thorazine he might be a man for the time.
