> Appeal to relevant authority is not a fallacy.

Yeah, because nothing says "relevant" like failing to see a global economic catastrophe, like the one in 2008 (or any other in the history of the human race). To suggest that economists are, aggregate, any more relevant than you or I is literally the quintessential example of a genetic fallacy. Such ignorance.

> There is no battle betwen Austrian and Keynesian economics in America today any more than there is a battle between Confederates and the Union.

You really need to turn off the TV... I can't even finish the rest of your comment, it's so full of ignorance.
