"This, of course, is a liberal lie."

So the truth is a liberal lie now?

Who knew?

"Economists can't agree on it"

Economists DO agree on it - as used by you guys to support perpetual tax cuts, "supply-side economics" is a total fiction.

And what makes you smarter than everyone else? I have graduate level economics training. And you?

Look. One thing I'll agree with you on is that these arguments reach religious fervor. The age of reason seems to have dissipated in the face of the age of the Internet, because it's now very hard for the layman to distinguish between science and blather when everyone is an armchair analyst and has access to equal parts fact and fiction presented as 100% fact on every subject.

Disinformation is rampant and it is destroying our ability to debate the issues based on merit and reason. That's really unfortunate.
