The statists in Congress are enamored with Keynesian big government policies and profligate spending as a means of “stimulus.” But while they travel the country to tout so-called “stimulus success,” the public displays a far better understanding of the underlying economics. Not only does a plurality find that the stimulus bill actually hurt – rather than helped – the economy, according to a recent Rasmussen Reports survey, but an overwhelming majority of 69% to 15% said that cutting taxes is a better way to create jobs than government spending.
The public gets it, so it is members of Congress that now really need to watch our educational videos, such as this one from January explaining why the stimulus was a flop and we don’t need a repeat.
