Okay lady, you so good, now take on the tax increases.

Calculate
How much the tax increases on the rich is going to be as a percent of the GDP?

Then tell us how much smaller the GDP will be?

And then tell us how shrinking GDP increases jobs?

Let’s make it easy: if Christine Romer says it, then I strongly support the opposite view.

Now THATS an easy way to be right 100% of the time, and her performance in the administration proves it.

What’s the “jobs plan” for the NY Times?

More layoffs, declining ad revenue, and lower circulation.

Christina Romer...

Isn’t she one of the brilliant engineers of last year’s recovery summer?

This article is incoherent. Simply incoherent.

Jobs are a side benefit?? tell that to the unemployed

We need a housing plan?? I thought we had that 3 years ago. Just another catastrophic Obama failure.

Romer has zero credibility. Zero, I said with a chuckle.
