> Do any actual respectable, academic or working economists make these arguments though?
I like this question. I try to use it on myself. It gets to the core of some of our responses. I.e. we should opine with evidence when we can. But I would suggest one slight change.
> Are any academic or working economists who make these arguments in positions of power?
I'd say yes. E.g. economists working for The Heritage Foundation for example.
