Jobs, Yes. Via More Government, No. -
President Obama on Thursday will be unveiling another "jobs plan", though Democrats are being careful not to call it stimulus after the failure of the $800 billion package from 2008. But just as a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, bigger government is not good for the economy, regardless of how it is characterized. Cato scholar Jagadeesh Gokhale puts it simply: "Proposing new deficit financed spending programs that are impossible to pay for is precisely the wrong thing to do."
