“Economists across the Spectrum” Continue to Flee Stimulus Bill (Cato @ Liberty)

President Obama et al want to claim that most conservatives economists approve of the stimulus package. They even point out that Mark Zandi, who advised John McCain (not that any true conservatives consider John McCain the poster boy for conservative thought) supports the stimulus.

Turns out Mr. Zandi is a registered republican and is very open to advising anyone who asks him regardless of his political philosophies.

The other economist, Martin Feldstein, works at Harvard (not known as the bastion of conservative thought) bue he considers this bill an $800 million mistake!

So that would make ... 0 Conservative/Republican economists who agree with the current Stimulus package.

So last night the president got on the television and at best, misspoke, at worst - lied.

DC Republican Examiner: Harvard Economist: "Stimulus is probably the worst bill that has been put forward since the 1930s"

  • One keen Democrat notes that this is neither a stimulus bill nor a pork bill. It is actually a permanent Democrat patronage bill, designed to create an army of people beholden to the Democrat Party for decades to come.

  • The Big Lie is that Obama knows this and yet deliberately uses phony numbers and rhetoric to pass a bill that may itself cause a depression.

    Change we can believe in?
