This editorial opinion by the New York Times would be funny if it weren't so sad. The editorial board is concerned about the depressed economy, but goes on to propose more of what caused the depression: namely, government spending. Somebody get these people a course in Economics 101. If you want the economy to grow, get government out of it. The Obama administration has done everything it can to stifle investment, destroy incentive, and interfere with contractual relations. That is a recipe for disaster; and guess what, disaster is what we're getting.
