Obama: "All Economists Agree"

What the hell makes Obama think he can speak for ALL economists? The Cato Institute doesn’t think so. At least, they didn’t think so in an ad they ran in several publications, to which HUNDREDS of economists signed agreement, saying the “stimulus bill WOULDN’T work. Actually, it will work. But not to accomplish the stated goal of “stimulating” the economy. What it WILL do is give Obama a platform to pass a law which NOBODY KNOWS what’s in. So they can “spring” the contents of that bill on us AFTER it becomes law. They released this 1,100 page bill to Congress the NIGHT BEFORE the vote was scheduled. How ANYBODY is supposed to have read this massive document in time for that vote is beyond me. If I were a congressman I would do an “Obama” and vote “present” so my name would not appear on the “for” side of this “mystery bill.” Further, how can “ALL” economists agree when there is NO WAY “all economists” could possibly have READ the bill before it was passed?
