I tend to believe what economists tell me.

[u wan buy dvd?]

Should I stop doing this?

I'm fairly certain mainstream economists agree on some of the more fundamental issues. Real simple stuff, like free trade is good, our standard of living will likely increase over the next few years, that the economy is slowing getting better, that downsizing and outsourcing is beneficial.

I'm also willing to accept that my impression of a mainstream economics is far off. I'll also accept that mainstream economists are biased themselves and that I should take what they say with a grain of salt.

I'll include a poll. I also selected "Disable smilies in text" because this thread is super serious, harumph harumph.
