FINALLY! Top economists admit what weve known all along: Republicans cruel and senseless policies really ARE the greatest threat to our economy. Funny how its taken them this long to figure out that fighting costly wars, holding down wages, starving poor people, blocking Americans access to health care, giving tax breaks to rich people, and forcing women to have babies they dont want will NOT create jobs.

This startling factoid comes from a survey by the One Percents go-to news source, the Wall Street Journal. When given a list of risk factors like Greeces debt crisis, Chinas market slump, and the Feds noises about raising interest rates WSJs top 62 masters of the dismal science saw the GOP as the greatest threat to our economy.

It boggles the mind that some are ready to just hand it back over to the Republicans to fuck it up all over again.
