Singed,
Obama, Democrat Congress, and complete Cabinet and staffs
This is such a bogus argument. Yes, in December of 2008, about 750,000 jobs were lost.
But that was one month, a month in which businesses and employers realized that Democrats were going to have significant margins in both houses of congress, in the Executive and in the courts.
Business hunkered down during this time and refused to hire.
There is no evidence whatsoever, that this would continue forever. Government policy had nothing to do with it.
But liberals like Romer can not see the reality - they don't understand human behavior.
