    its not my job to go look up all 8 studies, do your own research.

    So the studies and people he quoted are false?

    explain.

    Numerous studies were cited, as well as interviews with leading economists that challenged both claims of both studies. Thats not relevant.
    AHH so Forbes, the leading financial magazine, isnt trustworthy because no bibliography. Do you want me to write a report and use citations, i can do that.

    Also, this is his resume
    He has over 25 years of economic policy experience including serving seven years as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Employment Standards Administration at the U.S. Department of Labor for President Bush. There he oversaw and administered the Wage and Hour Division, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, and the Office of Labor-Management Standards. Mr. Wilson was also a Research Fellow at The Heritage Foundation, and Senior Economist, in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy, U.S. Department of Labor.

    Mr. Wilson has published or co-authored over 80 research papers, testified more than 12 times before Congress, and has frequently briefed members of Congress and the Administration. He has also appeared on a number of national radio and television shows, including, CNN, CNBC, Fox News, and C-SPAN, as well as publishing numerous op-eds in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the Washington Times, and various state newspapers.

    Mr. Wilson has a B.A. in economics, and minors in finance and statistics from Kent State University, as well as masters degree studies in economics at George Washington University. He is a member of the American Economic Association and the National Association for Business Economics.

    It was to show you how 2 faced you are in arguing. When you anyone posts something of substance its refuted as not truthful because you dont agree with it. Or when you get backed into a corner you resort to acting like youre the smartest guy in the room. Or you ask vague questions to try and steer the discussion into a different arena.

    You posted a study, I posted information contradicting that study. You claim my study was false (despite it coming from the CBO LOL)

    I post an economists article that is easily as reputable as your economist, but you say its Bullshit because its from Forbes and theres no bibliography (despite the fact that Wilson has over 80+ research papers on file you can go read).

    Just funny, must be awfully small in that head of yours

    Stop. Take a breath. Sip a beverage of your choice. Realize you're talking to someone who thinks psychology is an exact science. Lower expectations for intelligence accordingly.

    The empirical research data you have submitted shows cognitive dissonance in your reply.
