The notion that they're getting economic advice is rather quaint.

I doubt either of them has an economist on their staff. House members just don't have the budgets to do that. So they are probably getting "advice" -- more like hearing what they want to hear -- from conservative think tanks in DC, institutions which exist to give a policy veneer to the causes their donors want supported.
