Did He really say that? (Pt II)

[1] “So then you get the argument, well, this is not a stimulus bill, this is a spending bill. What do you think a stimulus is?”

The Kennedy tax cut was stimulative. The Reagan tax cut was stimulative. The Bush tax cut was stimulative. Is He really unaware of these basic economic facts?

The [2] Japanese experience with huge public works programs in place of stimulus is unimpressive. So why is He trying to emulate it?

Oh, wait, I forgot — He’s an “intellectual”.

People like Him give intellectuals a bad name.
