- It seems pretty clear to me. They address a claim that there is no disagreement by stating that there is disagreement. - Loyola Feb 15, 15:12 4
  - their disagreement stems more from opinions derived from their ideological position, than an objective analysis of the facts. - znufrii Feb 15, 15:17 3
    - That's your opinion that their position on government spending to stimulate an economy is not based on empirical evidence. - Loyola Feb 15, 15:26 2
      - Did you forget the letter sent to George Bush in May 2001, signed by dozens economists, including several Nobel laureates, in opposition to OECD? - Trish Feb 15, 15:41
      - yet in the examples they cite, and the manner in which they do so, the idea that it would have been better for the government to do nothing - znufrii Feb 15, 15:41
