Hah! As a profession, you've had a miserable track record on _economics_! The profession should be academically "tarred, feathered and ridden out of town", departments dismantled and the models handed over to Operations Research departments along with a strong warning.

I wouldn't do that. It's widely accepted among economists that reducing funding for economics departments would be terrible for the university budget as a whole.
