Re: The Sequester

A letter to the Editor from "Tony"

If the $800 billion stimulus that President Obama demanded and Congress passed in 2009 created proportionately as many jobs as Democrats tell us will be lost by the $85 billion sequester, we would have reached full employment 3 years ago instead of the current (official) unemployment rate of 8%. If an $85 billion cut in spending is so disastrous, why didn't the $800 billion stimulus create so many jobs that everybody who wants a job could find a job?

Lies, damn lies, and statistics!
