Is Randall Holcombe one of THEM?

Hmm, I looked him up on wikipedia, seen he is a Libertarian professor of economics and writes for the right wing Independent institute.

Recently saw an argument about keeping the Bush tax cuts that I thought I would share.

Seems the aforementioned Independent Institute put out the following piece claiming this alleged study was published in 2010.

A very quick search for the document reveals, it was written in 2007

The article by Independent Institute has been floating around the last few days and used as a talking point.

Just want to point out the newest rightwing propaganda tool/theme before it goes viral.

Published an article in the June 2010 issue of the American Economic Review?

Yeah, OK I see it there, but I detect a deception.

2. Credit goes to the right wing BOTS who spew the same talking points.

Guess Romer ALSO advised Obama correctly when they said giving us YET ANOTHER tax cut like he did with the Recovery & Reinvestment act of 2009 would be the right thing to do.

As proven by THIS document: http://news.uchicago.edu/files/newsrelease_20090227.pdf

GREAT FIND RIGHT WINGERS, glad to see they're actually sticking up for Obama for a change. :sarcasm:
