We Disagree Mr. President

"There is no disagreement that we need action by our government, a recovery plan that will help to jumpstart the economy."

— PRESIDENT-ELECT BARACK OBAMA, JANUARY 9 , 2009

With all due respect Mr. President, that is not true.

A portion of an advertisement placed in newspapers across the country by the Cato Institute signed by dozens, if not hundreds, of economists. If you listen to the major news outlets, you hear only the voices which agree with the president. The ones who disagree (notably Ron Paul but there are many others - read the full ad and see the signatures) are marginalized as loony interlopers. We are being led, like lemmings, to disaster.
