Free market economists fight back

Here is a great advertisement going in the New York Times sometime in the next week. The Cato Institute bought the ad with a slew of economists signing on who disagree with President Barack Obama's ridiculous statement that everyone agrees we can spending ourselves into a huge hole and then spend ourselves right back out.

To read the ad, click here. And if you see University of Kentucky's John Garen, University of Louisville's Stephan Gohmann, or Western Kentucky University's Dennis Wilson or Brian Strow around the Bluegrass State, congratulate them on their good judgment.

You should point out that a WKU economist's name appears in that ad.

More than one.

I just realized the ad is unreadable here on the blog. I'm going to try again.

I wish they had offered me the chance to sign this!

Hey, DA, you forgot a Kentucky economist! I'll let you find him.

David Adams said...

I got him in there. Thanks.

Perhaps these economists should go back to school and read Alexander Hamilton's 1791 report to Congress on manufactures.

But then they might find out that Obama's plan is consistent with Hamilton's views, and American values are something conservatives are not comfortable with.
