In my own defense, I'm a political science student. I'm literally going into a career that's all about analyzing people's beliefs and trying to sway them in particular directions. :P And given the number of otherwise reasonable people who have strangely conservative beliefs around me, I tend to take sudden politically conservative viewpoints seriously until proven otherwise.

I react much the same way. It's amazing what apparently clever people can believe by mistake outside their field of education, just because they we latched onto a silly idea and never corrected it. (I've done it myself, and I'm probably still doing it about something where I don't even know I'm doing it.)

For some fields, that's mostly harmless. If you don't really understand molecular biology, but you're not trying to practice medicine, we can largely let your ignorance slide.

On the other hand, most people should know something about nutrition, unless they're not responsible for anyone's diet including their own.

For a potential voter in a democracy, failing to understand basic demand-side macroeconomics is a potential serious problem. Granted, many voters vote for non-pocketbook reasons. But if people are repeating things like our troll here, that may be because they heard them from someone that is being found credible. And it's (sadly) close enough to things I've heard other persons of voting age say, and heard actual politicians say, that I have to assume there is a constituency for this sort of prejudice, that keeps electing politicians who will actively vote for demand-side-neglecting economic thinking. And then we get widespread poverty and depressions.

I considered that iceyred might be trolling, but she(?) stuck with it, so I decided to answer it as best I could.


And I think a lot of right-leaning people would benefit from reading Paul Krugman's works for the non-economist. He explains things in a way that makes many pundits look like incoherent jabberers in comparison.

Now that's an unpopular opinion!
