Econ is a lot of things mostly wrong
the branch of science that particular group of scientists belong to is the study that everything a repo deems useful must ergo be wrong in fact, and postulate theories as to why. Nothing wrong with that, the pope had a crew of them back in the day that constantly ensured that Michaelangelo needed to tow the party line. Just pointing out that I do not care for that branch of the sciences.

Yeah, we'll trust your folksy alt-right homilies over all the economic scientists in the world.
Also, you toe a line, not "tow" it.
Yet another example of where you Dunning-Kruger-out yourself. One would've thought you'd learn fro-- Oh, duh, of course.

OTT
Over the top: you are trolling so hard even the amusement value is gone. You are wrong. Get over it.

Suppose, for the sake of argument, your premise is right
If it's true that economists disagree* with everything Republicans say, why do you conclude that's the fault of the economists?
* Ignoring for the moment that lack of consensus among economists is a long-standing cliche.

Re: Suppose, for the sake of argument, your premise is not right
If it's true that economists disagree* with everything Republicans say why are you arguing that? from the original post of Ashton's link The Union of Concerned Scientists puts rigorous, independent science to work to solve our planet's most pressing problems. Joining with people across the country, we combine technical analysis and effective advocacy to create innovative, practical solutions for a healthy, safe, and sustainable future. don't even see the word economists in there

I was replying to you, not Ashton
Econ is a lot of things mostly wrong the branch of science that particular group of scientists belong to is the study that everything a repo deems useful must ergo be wrong in fact, and postulate theories as to why. That was pretty clearly (for you) talking about what economists do.

that is two distict and separate assertions
1. Econ is a lot of things mostly wrong
2.the branch of science THAT particular group of scientists belong to is the study that everything a repo deems useful must ergo be wrong in fact, and postulate theories as to why.

Now you've Boxed-self-in to explaining the word "useful"
Hmmm Göbbels was (a) useful tool for --> the Ends of the perhaps Prime-sociopath of the last century.. you sure that was a good word upon which to hang some irascible/incoherent musing?
Since via-simple-inspection LOTS of things "Repos deem 'useful'" involve deception, infinite forms of dissembling and in-the-end: are SAID: only so as to increase personal-net-worth while utterly ignoring/aka disdaining the harm they cause [ergo Intentionally, as-in-premeditated Lying] to the masses who comprise the actual and entire dis-US: such as, Today It IS.
cf. ..and that man simply Used me! when he _____ etc. etc. Yup, great word-associations there. Go ahead, Man-splain away ... maybe in Esperanto? or as we say en Español: ¡Que lastima!
You are entitled to Any Old opinions, flat-out. You aren't entitled to employ your-own-'facts' or alt-definitions of common words, I wot.

retooling the tax code is useful
doubling the personal excemtion would be very useful. So would extending the SS tax to any income without an upper limit but I suppose 1/2 is better than none.
