Yeah, I was an Economics major in college, & I'll be damned if I can tell you a single SIMPLE thing about it...To be a good economist, you have to be able to make a point, & then refute it at least 10 ways...And support it 20 more. The one thing that I DID get from it was is that the economy of America is SO vast, & so complicated, there is really no way to devise a model to explain it adequately...Yes, you CAN influence the economy on a "Macro"-large-scale, but often as not, by the time your influences take effect, the economy has moved on, & your "influences" end up harming things rather than helping.
