Ed Rendell a Liar or Just Stupid?

Governor Ed Rendell was just on Neil Cavuto’s show on Fox News and he just made the incredible claim that all conservative economists supported the trillion dollar Obama Stimulus plan. Is anybody so stupid that they would actually believe that utterly false statement. It would have been nice to at least see some token opposition from Cavuto to this flat-out lie, but he let it slide. So, what is the truth. Well, three months ago the CATO Institute took out full page ads in the Washington Post and New York Times opposing Obama’s massive stimulus plan. The ad was in the form of a letter signed by some 200 economists, three of whom are Nobel Laureates-  Edward Prescott, Vernon Smith, and James Buchanan. The ad quotes Obama saying, “There is no disagreement that we need action by our government, a recovery plan that will help jumpstart the economy.” Gee, funny how all these liberals get the same facts wrong over and over again. Oh, I forgot. Facts are to liberals what Kryptonite is to Superman. The two just don’t mix.
