Have to disagree here. Economics is a valuable field of study, but it is not science or a science.

"Trusting in academia to determine intellectual clout is unwise. Moreover, academia is chop full of people interested in validating Macro economics, it keeps the research grant money coming."

That's like accusing "academia" of reinforcing anti-Creationism theories because it keeps the grant money coming. Partially true (you'd have a hard time funding Creationist research, or anti-modern-economics research), but besides the point. Macroeconomics is a science, and we can either choose to listen to scientists regarding macroeconomics issues, or to politicians/clergy etc.

Glad you got it working. Thanks for reporting.
