About Economists

The Economist’s Song
(Sung to the tune of
“Try A LittleTenderness.”)

They get derided,
Economists get chided,
Their predictions are so often wrong;
But though misguided,
Their reasoning is always strong.

They seek no favors,
For errors ask no waivers,
Right half the time is enough;
As for those bum calls,
If you lost your shirt , that’s tough.

It isn’t much to ask for,
The cushy sinecures they seek;
You gotta know it ain’t easy,
Crunching numbers every week.

So….
When they get tired,
Or God forbid get fired,
Not calling a move by the fed;
Don’t laugh your butt off.
Show some tenderness instead.
