"At a time when the country was experiencing the worst economic downturn in generations and the government was asking its taxpayers to support a $787 billion stimulus package designed primarily to preserve jobs, Treasury made a series of decisions that may have substantially contributed to the accelerated shuttering of thousands of small businesses and thereby potentially adding tens of thousands of workers to the already lengthy unemployment rolls -- all based on a theory and without sufficient consideration of the decisions' broader economic impact," the report states.
I found it entertaining that the last line included the phrase “all based on a theory”. This is the fantasy world in which progressives live, where theories and ideology replace reasoned assessment. I’m sure the report will be dismissed by the typical progressive as mere partisan politics, but that’s only because those of us who can see beyond our noses raised concerns about it at the outset.
