>Economists don't know what's going on

This reminds me of my favorite jokes about economists...

>Two economists are walking down the street. One says, "Look, a $20 bill!" The other replies, "That’s impossible. If it were real, someone would have already picked it up."

>Did you know economists have predicted nine out of the last five recessions?

>There is a story that has been going around about a physicist, a chemist, and an economist who were stranded on a desert island with no implements and a can of food. The physicist and the chemist each devised an ingenious mechanism for getting the can open; the economist merely said, "Assume we have a can opener"!

>If trivial pursuit were designed by economists, it would have 100 questions and 3,000 answers - Ronald Reagan
