Really? In February, the government proclaimed a crises of such magnitude that debate on the “stimulus” legislation would be a reckless waste of time. The legislation had to be passed immediately!
But now, with unemployment well above where the government said “the stimulus” legislation would cap it, Vice President Joe Biden on Sunday explained (emphasis added):
Everyone guessed wrong at the time the estimate was made about what the state of the economy was at the moment this was passed.
Though, everyone didn’t “guess” wrong as the IBD article indicates, maybe those who did simply rely on guess work to run the government would have fared better if thinking wasn’t actively discouraged.
*By the way, $787 Billion works out to around $2571 for every man, woman and child in the United States. And that is just one piece of legislation.
