Bob Casey: Economic Imbecile

Seriously...how did this guy get elected to the Senate?



Bob Casey says that when it comes to stimulating the economy we can't just do "things we want to do" but we need to "do things that will work." So his proposal is to take an already crappy stimulus plan and add more handouts to more Democratic constituencies. He wants to tack on unemployment insurance and more federal funding for food stamps...yes, that's right, onto an economic stimulus bill. As Cavuto rightly points out, this may result in a bill weighing in at over $200 billion (hey Dems, I thought you cared about the deficit?).

Welcome to liberal economics 101...or better known as never never land.

This is more of the same from Washington. We know how to stimulate the economy in ways that last, but few in DC have the political courage to propose it.
