I'm not sure decision makers listen to economists.

They listen to the economists providing justification for what they already wanted to do.

They listen to the ones they find useful. I guarantee you "trickle down" wasn't Bush's idea, an econ man put those words in his head, and it was to provide academic justification for giving the rich a big wealth transfer from the working class.
