Almost every scientist in that field disagrees with you.
If 97-98% of economists held a certain position, would you constantly ignore what they were saying?

Why do you think that someone who understands the economy should not be a liberal?

So you don't think there are any qualified economists who are liberal?
Do you not consider Krugman an economist? If not, what disqualifies him. What about Joseph Stiglitz?
I consider Paul Krugman to be reputable economist like I consider Bill Maher to be a reputable political commentator.
And to be honest, I just found the article in five minutes. I'm sure if I spent some time I could find some scholarly articles that were in line with my thoughts. As I'm sure you could find some to disprove mine.
It's just a matter of opinion. I just don't see how anyone could be a doctor, lawyer (
), financial adviser, and support liberal economic policies. Clemson

Just started my job at Home Depot corporate. New hires had the opportunity to have a round table discussion with Bernie Marcus (one of the founders). I asked him if he tried to start Home Depot today, with the current regulations coming from the government, if it could be successful. He said no way in hell.

Why about Krugman? What are the reasons that a guy who earns a PhD in economics from MIT and a Nobel Prize is not qualified as an economist?
So, you recognize that there are "scholarly" articles (I'm assuming you mean logical, reasonable, defensible, etc.) that support economic policies consistent with conservative and liberal points of view, but then say you still don't understand how an economist could be a liberal? That seems contradictory. You can understand something without agreeing with it.
Well I am a finance undergraduate major who now is an attorney practicing in tax and estate planning. If you are curious as to why some of my views (even views on economics) lean toward liberal, this is your opportunity to now understand why. I'm not saying I'm correct or you have to agree with me, but at least you will be able to understand it.

Well the Heritage Foundation was a central figure in the "Contract with America" or the principles that ushered in what you guys call the Glorious Clinton years. So they obviously aren't idiots, like a man that proclaimed Obama's stimulus #1 wasn't enough.

Where Clemson fails is in his definition. First off, he broadly strokes anyone as either liberal or conservative. Secondly, he ignores whether one can be liberal or conservative irrespective of economics. Third, he chooses to hold on economic theory higher than another despite the fact economics is a SOCIAL science at best and is essentially a crapshoot.

I shit you not the Subway corporate 'sales pitch' was "if you work at your store 6 days a week 7-9 hours a day you could possibly make FOURTY THOUSAND A YEAR!! (insert confetti drop)" Not to mention the asking price was 240k which would be 6 to possibly 7 years of earnings opposed to the usual 3-5 years worth of earnings most small businesses get sold for.
