Reply #43: Will claim? They say it every day. [View All]

If you watch a little Fox (I know, it's disgusting, but I like to know my enemy) they literally claim that the economic problems are all because of government spending and stimulus and that the current economic situation is an indictment and proof that Keynesian economics is dead and Obama's a big fat leftist socialist and on and on...

Somehow they can't seem to realize that if they're going to claim that the lack of an economic turnaround after a stimulus bill that's half tax cuts and half stimulus proves that stimulus doesn't work, it equally proves that tax cuts don't work!

I wonder how it would've affected their coverage if instead of calling it a stimulus bill and making it half tax cuts, the Obama administration called it a tax cuts bill and made it half stimulus?
