Scott Adams's Political Survey of Economists

Posted by kdawson on from the who's-the-fairest-of-them-all dept.

Buffaloaf writes "Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, wanted to have unbiased information about which presidential candidate would be better for the economy, so he financed his own survey of 500 economists. He gives a bit more detail about the results in a CNN editorial, along with disclosure of his own biases and guesses as to the biases of the economists who responded."

    Then maybe you are in the wrong tax bracket. Try being in mine for a while.

    If you were more productive, maybe you would be in a higher tax bracket.

    How many books have you written? Ever start a food company?

    No. You just sit around and wish you made more money.

    An "immediate drop in oil prices" is a stupid concept on it's face. Oil prices are set by oil futures which don't go out 5 or 10 years. Nobody is paying today for oil 10 years out.

    Oil prices are set by supply and demand the cost of oil in the next few months up to maybe a year, not the next five. No matter how many times you repeat this BS it's still just BS.
