As an all but dissertation economist, an applied macroeconomist to be precise, this really smarts! Alas there is a grain of truth to this, and I can assure you, that in grad school, we make black humored jokes about macroeconomics all the time. Still this would be funnier if it had been written by an economist, and I would point out, as bad as macroeconomics is, I value it enough to make it my profession, and there still is no alternative.

In the spirit of this article, allow me to post an image of the Voodoo Economists from the Futurama episode "Three Hundred Big Boys."
