For Which It Stands

Most Economists Agree?

Really Mr. President and Vice President? Most Economists Agree?

       Comrades, our Illustrious President has reassured us, that economist agree that the Stimulus Package is the right thing to do. President Obama says that "economists from across the political spectrum agree" on the need for massive government spending to stimulate the economy. Also his 2nd in Command The Illustrious Joe Biden says "Every economist, as I’ve said, from conservative to liberal, acknowledges that direct government spending on a direct program now is the best way to infuse economic growth and create jobs." Well I figured since most agree I would list a few economists that do not agree and are against more Government spending.
