200+ economists DISAGREE with President Obama’s spending bill

Posted 10 Feb 2009 in Barack Obama, economy

Even before he took office, Barack Obama “ginned up” the rhetoric to get the public to support what he knew would be a massive spending plan to expand the federal government.

“There is no disagreement that we need action by our government, a recovery plan that will help to jumpstart the economy.” — President-elect Barack Obama, Jan 9, 2009

Now that he’s the president, he’s using his office as a bully pulpit to advocate TRILLIONS in foolhardy new pork-laced federal spending. And his speech tonight featured so many bald-faced lies, I can’t even recount them all here until I have a transcript in front of me. But for now, let’s grab this little nugget…

“Most economists…uhh…almost unanimously agree…”

Aside from his bumbling performance without a teleprompter, President Obama is just plain wrong.

Cato Institutue has run an ad which features over 200 economists (including Nobel laureates and other prominent scholars) who vehemently DISAGREE with this headlong charge to mortgage our grandchildren’s future for the express purpose of expanding the federal government.
