I must wonder, if there's so many economists that known that's wrong with the economy of a country such as United States, why don't they fix it?
This [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTUY16CkS-k]video (kind of funny actually)[/url] explains a lot of things and the problems that needs to be fix and etc.
I mean, it seems to me it is so obvious what we need to do after just taking an introductory course to macroeconomics, I mean, now I know not to spend $800 billion on a stimulus legislation that will hardly stimulate anything.
What do you guys think? Any of you took a micro/macro economic course before and had your mind changed after finishing it?

It's not the polarizing issue it once was though. Political parties with a history of protectionist policies have evolved to favor free trade. It's increasingly an accepted fact as it should be.
