&gt; &gt; Warring academics , never pretty. DAldredge writes with news of another
&gt; &gt; side to the economic debate in academia over the plans of this year's two
&gt; &gt; leading presidential candidates, pointing to this &quot;statement Wednesday by
&gt; &gt; 368 economists, including six Nobel laureates: Gary Becker, James
&gt; &gt; Buchanan, Milton Friedman, Robert Lucas, Robert Mundell, and -- the winner
&gt; &gt; of this year's Nobel Prize in Economics -- Edward C. Prescott. The
&gt; &gt; economists warned that Sen. Kerry's policies 'would, over time, inhibit
&gt; &gt; capital formation, depress productivity growth, and make the United States
&gt; &gt; less competitive internationally. The end result would be lower U.S.
&gt; &gt; employment and real wage growth.'&quot;
&gt; 
&gt; Well, I'm sure you could find an equal number of Nobel laureates in economics
&gt; who would say just the opposite. That's what's so great about economics.
&gt; Which leads to the saying:
&gt; 
&gt; &quot;If all the economists in the world were laid end to end...it might be a good
&gt; thing.&quot;
