George H W, might have been showing honesty when he made that comment, but honest or not the comment wasn't very accurate.

The main thrust of my point about economists is that for every one to support your side you can find one on the other side to shoot him down.

In the end it comes down making your policy argument and outlining the effects of that policy.

Please see my message to John M. (#103677) as to my main concerns as to how we are are proceeding.

Thanks.

I doubt Ronald Reagan ever did course work in economics,

After high school, Reagan attended Eureka College, where he was a member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, majored in economics and sociology..

As for George H W Bush;

He graduated as a member of the Phi Beta Kappa from Yale in 1948 with a Bachelor's degree in economics
