Major GPA on Resume?
I'm a CS Major and have a 4.0 major GPA. But, my real GPA is 3.6. Should I even bother putting major GPA? My lower grades are in economics courses so I am worried they will ask about that.

Yes. There are a few rules for this.
1. If your major GPA is a significantly higher than your overall GPA then yes. I don't care that you got a B in your Art class if you get an A in you Computer science class.
2. If you changed majors and they are significantly different. AKA Business to CS; NOT Applied Math to Theoretical Math
Eh, I guess having a 3.6 cum but 4.0 major is a big difference. But it is also kind of a red flag to an interviewer / someone screening a resume - there is obviously some weakness of yours (whether it be math / writing / thinking critically) and so in a sense a 3.6 / 4.0 breakout highlights the fact that you may be one dimensional. IMO I always tell people to remove it.
I listed just my major GPA and no one ever questioned it.
