USA Today — Economists: GOP jobs plan better than Obama’s
Give the author credit for at least covering the story, but in the end he just help himself:
Those surveyed by Boehner include economists from Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, Carnegie Mellon University, American Enterprise Institute and the Manhattan Institute—fairly conservative institutions.
Yes, as well as Ohio, Iowa, Boston College, Central Michigan, Columbia, Arizona State, etc.—not exactly hotbeds of conservatism.
Independent analysts—including Moody’s Analytics and Macroeconomic Advisers — estimate that Obama’s jobs act would create up to 1.9 million jobs while the House Republican would have little immediate impact on creating jobs.
As if those analysts are any more “independent” than the economists on Boehner’s list.
