Are Joe Biden's Nobel Laureate economists bought and paid for?

Joe Biden is doing everything possible to convince the American people that Bidenomics actually works. HINT: It doesn't. On the day of CNN's debate, 16 Nobel "Prize-winning economists have signed a public letter in advance of Thursday’s presidential debate endorsing President Biden’s economic policies and criticizing Donald Trump’s." Considering the effects of Bidenflation, these Nobel Prize-winning economists' opinions plus a dollar are worth fifty cents. What these Nobel-winning economists said is mind-boggling.

In their letter, these economists wrote "While each of us has different views on the particulars of various economic policies, we all agree that Joe Biden’s economic agenda is vastly superior to Donald Trump’s. In his first four years as President, Joe Biden signed into law major investments in the U.S. economy, including in infrastructure, domestic manufacturing, and climate. Together, these investments are likely to increase productivity and economic growth while lowering long-term inflationary pressures and facilitating the clean energy transition."

That's utter nonsense. The infrastructure bill is filled with 'investments' in Green New Deal infrastructure, otherwise known as EV charging stations. Further, a significant portion of the Inflation Reduction Act is spent on Green New Deal infrastructure. John Kerry admitted that in this article:

Adding to this, he said Biden's Inflation Reduction Act - a primarily climate-focused bill that unleashed over $300 billion in clean energy, vehicle and other incentives, has largely benefited Republican-voting states, meaning lawmakers would be reluctant to roll back the investments and jobs that law has created locally.
The Inflation Reduction Act spent hundreds of billions of dollars on things that the American people don't want and that the U.S. government can't afford. That's how inflation is created. Meanwhile, these laureates have a less-than-stellar track record on their predictions. For instance, these laureates made some predictions in 2021:
The economists also claimed that Biden’s agenda includes “a broader conception of infrastructure” that went beyond spending on roads, bridges, and the like to include investments in human capital, research, public education, and health care. This is a familiar Democratic Party talking point: expenditures on various social causes are really "investments."

How did it all work out? The expert economists were badly mistaken on inflation. They said that Biden’s spending packages would “ease inflationary pressures,” but everyone understands today that those same policies stoked inflation.

When the government spends money, it isn't inflationary, at least according to these economists. When people get to keep more of the money they've earned, these economists insist that's inflationary. It's worth noting that the economists in this interview are partisans first, economists second:

This is just another letter written by people with an agenda. Remember the 51 intelligence experts that wrote a letter right before the first debate in 2020? That's the letter that said the Hunter laptop story had "all the hallmarks of Russian information operation." That was put out right before the first presidential debate in 2020. Joe Biden insisted it was fake. Last month, the 'fake' Hunter laptop was used as evidence to convict Hunter of 3 felonies.

Joe Biden thinks these economists' letter will let him off the hook for his inflationary policies. That's a joke. People have lived through Bidenflation. People have lived through the low inflation years of the Trump administration. Now Biden has commissioned these economists to tell people that Trump's policies are inflationary. Why should I trust their predictions when their previous predictions were badly off?

These economists' letter is meaningless. Why trust it when our lived experience is significantly different? These economists' letter has all the hallmarks of a Biden disinformation operation.
