Top Economists Warn REPUBLICANS Are The Biggest Threat To Our Economy

FINALLY! Top economists admit what we’ve known all along: Republicans‘ cruel and senseless policies really ARE the greatest threat to our economy. Funny how it’s 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 don’t want will NOT create jobs.

And no, we’re not talking about known left-wing economists like Robert Reich and Paul Krugman. This startling factoid comes from a survey by the One Percent’s go-to news source, the Wall Street Journal. When given a list of risk factors — like Greece’s debt crisis, China’s market slump, and the Fed’s noises about raising interest rates — WSJ‘s top 62 masters of “the dismal science” saw the GOP as the greatest threat to our economy.

But, I think everyone here already knows this. Sadly.

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