Lou Dobbs gets angry at economists and then pretends to be one. He calls GMU Prof Alex Tabarrok an 'idiot' and then insists he has a greater understanding of economics than these 500 economists who signed a letter in support of immigration (including several Nobel Prize winners).
Dobbs would really benefit by sitting down with a good econ textbook and understanding the issues before insulting an entire profession. I am truly shocked by his behavior in this video and think he owes many economists a sincere apology. He could also benefit from a strong dose of humility and respect for others.
Regardless of where you stand on the immigration issue, I think you'll agree that Dobbs' comments were truly unprofessional in the worst sort of way.

Actually, I think this Dobbs meltdown is hilarious. I learned many eons ago that you cannot take Dobbs seriously.
Of course Dobbs doesn't know much about this or any other subject...so that's why a major news network gave him a show! In the world of TV news, what counts first is ratings, which means what counts is entertainment value. And Dobbs has entertainment value.
