Believe it or Not, There Are ExpertsThose Who Think Obama is Wrong
Oooh, the Messiah is making a mistake. Will the heavens fall and seas boil? Will there be massive floods and earthquakes?
When economists such as Harvard's Robert Barro (an interview with the Atlantic's Conor Clarke can be read here, in which he says this "stimulus" bill is "the worst bill put forward since the 1930s") to the Associated Press and CBS,-you know, the President's main cheering section-say this is a spending bill full of pork and is ultimately a waste of money, what does that tell you? If they're talking common sense (and believe me, I am totally bewildered at that) what does that say?
Obama said "not one earmark," but he didn't say anything about pork, now did he? See, that way the loonie left can say, "See, he's not a liar!" Well, that's already been proven to be false, but I digress.
When the President says, "Most economists agree," or "there is no more debate," he sounds eerily like Al Gore and his global warming fear mongering. And when he throws in Franklin Roosevelt and The New Deal, he clearly is doing what he said he didn't want detractors of his bill to do-revise history.
This thing is 90% pork, that's a fact. And like I said before, if and when there is progress in the short-term, the left-and especially those in Congress, celebrities and late-night talk-show hosts will proclaim Obama a savior (again) and a genius (again) until the real affects are felt in a couple of years, and again, it will be blamed on Republican "unpatriotic ways," "divisiveness" and "inaction," when the Democrats are in danger of losing congressional seats and perhaps the White House. Just watch.
Just by comparison, here is the New York Times', Adam Cohen (you know the great economist of our time) in an opinion piece that says the failure of Roosevelt's New Deal wasn't and is just another Republican talking point. Yawn.
Yes, the New Deal helped a lot of people, but it did not stimulate the economy to the point where all was made well like Cohen and his ilk would have you believe.
