132 Economists Support Republican Job Creation Plan

132 Economists Support Republican Job Creation Plan

via The Weekly Standard Blog by Daniel Halper on 11/8/11


A press release from Speaker of the House John Boehner's office announces "a list of 132 American economists who believe the job creation strategy used in the House GOP Plan for America's Job Creators will do more to boost private-sector job growth in America in both the near-term and long-term than the "stimulus" spending approach favored by President Obama."
The list is in response to Boehner's question to economists: "which do you believe is more likely to provide a boost for private-sector job growth in America in both the near- and long-term: a plan focused on billions of dollars in additional "stimulus" spending by government – or a plan focused on halting excessive government regulations and fixing the tax code to help private-sector job creators?  A total of 132 economists indicated they clearly favor the latter strategy.  The list of 132 economists includes experts from Stanford University's Hoover Institution, Carnegie Mellon University, and Harvard University; economists from the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), the Manhattan Institute, and the American Action Forum; and many others."
Here are the 132 economists who support the Republican job creation plan:
