For those that still think the stimulus package will “save or create” thousands of jobs, or whatever non-falsifiable test President Obama is using now (“Hey, we lost 59,000 construction jobs, but I saved 110,000 through the stimulus.” “How can you prove that?” “Next question!”), be sure to check Arthur Laffer’s recent op/ed in theWall Street Journal.
