The main problem is that the math they do is often based on assumptions that have repeatedly been disproven but are still treated like gospel.
If you assume 2+2=5 you can follow up with as much correct math as you like, your results will always be shit.
Sounds like you're complaining more about politicians and pundits than actual economists.
It's like saying you don't trust geologists because they assume that the world is 4,000 years old. They don't - just some idiots in charge do.
There's plenty of "actual" economists like that, and unfortunately some of them are among the generally most listened to, they lead prominent institutes and advise my home country's government.
If they make those assumptions, they are not economists, they are politicians. Learning to distinguish the difference is the same skillset boomers need to pick up on in relation to real images and AI generation... Clearly you lack in that department.
