I sort of disagree.

Economics is a behavioral social study. It’s not an exact science.

Math and biology is an exact science. 2 +2 is always 4.

Unless the scientists get gubmint cheese and grant money, in which case they will cook the books and tell you that 2 + 2 means we are all going to die in a great big ball of fire unless you give us billions of dollars to save you from global warming/cooling/climate change/re runs of American Idol or anything else bad.

Heck, it’s a living.

I see your point. I guess 2+2=4 100% of the time. Given the same tax rate increase to the same economic structure, you will see an X% decrease in production with a variance of Y%. I still think the analogy holds, with some tweaking.

Yes, we are entering the era of doublespeak. Hey, today is Pi day, the birth date of Einstein. The libs take that to mean everything is relative to what they currently perceive reality to be.
