I have no doubt your C.V. is jam packed with one major success after another That's the beauty of anonymous posting on the net; we can tart ourselves up to be whatever we want to be. He has, however, been able to fool enough people about his abilities to make it into the Prime Minister's Office.

Harper has no experience working in the field. According to his thesis advisor his main strength was applying the simplist possible theory to a set of facts. That does not surprise me, because from his writings and actions since becoming Prime Minister, I find that his understanding of economic theory is superficial.

I didn't actually include myself in the "elite superior class members" category. In this particular case "Emilie" chose to belittle Harper as not really being an economist, although he apparently has considerablr academic and career experiences to support the case that he is. Don't overreach, boys, the truth is you know next to nothing about me so your attempts at playing psychoalalyst are a bit creepy.
