I tried hard to think of something that I haven't already talked about, so here goes:

I have a suspicion that the best economic plans developed by economists will have no effect or negative effect, because the ability of macroeconomics to describe what happens when we push on the economy is simply not good enough to let the government deliberately manipulate the economy in any positive way.

What do you mean when you say 'plans'? Do you mean all plans or just most plans?

Edit: oh, I didn't read closely, you mean macroeconomic plans.
