Or as Mork (of Mork & Mindy) put it, "would you like a little wine? Whine, Whine..."
The vast majority of economists agree on 3 conclusions regarding the government and the financial messes we have: 1) the government's lax oversight (going back to Clinton and continuing through Bush) allowed the financial mess to happen, as corporate greed overcame rational analysis (which was presented to these greedy corporations, and ignored); 2) the government's intervention saved the tax payers a lot of money, when all is considered; and 3) the healthcare bill will be revenue neutral at worst. Now, anyone is free to disagree with their conclusions, but to do so honestly would require one to engage their data and their reasoning, not just assert the wrongness of their conclusions or the superiority of one's conclusions. Nobel winners, in particular, have earned that kind of respect, to be disagreed with based on their analyses, not on their conclusions. One can disagree with that also, but then one has passed beyond the pale, and genuine discussion on that topic is no longer possible with that person.
