True, but not in the way you think. Most economists are Keynesians, a defunct School of Economics.

And most work either for government or in Academia, i.e. somewhere they don't have to be accurate or accountable.

Richclem also isn't an economist. He further cherry picks the ones who do. So, being an economist doesn't actually matter to him. It only matters if the economist happens to agree with him. He will throw any authority under the bus if he says something that contradicts his views.

No moonbat, it was the exact opposite. I read diverse opinion and stuck with those individuals I found to be accurate, faithful to the balance of facts and logical.

Further, Economics like almost all subjects relies on a basis of common sense, so you don't have to be an economist to understand its basics.

Which excludes almost all liberals.
