No matter if they are going against the popular vote or not, I feel they should do what's right for the economy...not just for the vote! Sometimes the popular vote isn't necessarily right.<br />Suzanne GoffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824345661289105799.post-71154311318928191962010-11-10T22:07:30.036-06:002010-11-10T22:07:30.036-06:00I agree with the above mentioned post.

I think that in fear of being disproved, Economist would rather be proved wrong on something that all economist had wrong instead of being that one person who opposed what the majority said and was proven wrong. I think it just makes you look beeter to make a mistake that everyone misses instead of making a mistake on what everyone knows is rightMichael Coxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824345661289105799.post-10191090590808518142010-11-10T21:03:32.436-06:002010-11-10T21:03:32.436-06:00Or it could be that economists are not necessarily...Or it could be that economists are not necessarily influenced by each other, they could just generally view things from a similar perspective.Sabine Wohlschlagnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824345661289105799.post-54135846064193311302010-11-08T16:31:05.677-06:002010-11-08T16:31:05.677-06:00I agree with everyone above.

They might not support the other because it is different from what they believed in. This makes them seemed biased. They might also have personal reasons for supporting or not supporting something Ceteris paribus. Like Austin and Travis said they might be influenced by others and also scared of being incorrect. <br />Kimberly FariasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824345661289105799.post-39442616167161808402010-11-03T22:34:02.742-05:002010-11-03T22:34:02.742-05:00I agree with travis, i believe many of the economi...I agree with travis, i believe many of the economists dont want to go against the "popular" choice for fear of getting proved wrongAustin Andersonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824345661289105799.post-20294322203058454292010-11-02T16:38:45.134-05:002010-11-02T16:38:45.134-05:00Maybe these economists are influenced by their fel...Maybe these economists are influenced by their fellow economist buddies.
