In an interview with CNN’s John Roberts Clinton claimed that “there’s 100 economic studies which show that you get a better return in terms of economic growth on extending unemployment benefits or investing money in energy conservation jobs to improve buildings than you do giving people in my income group a tax cut.”
Really? Granted, the “or” in there means 99 of those studies could prove one point and only 1 study support the other, but I don’t think that makes it all that much easier to prove the point. I’d be impressed if someone could come up with 50 studies supporting Clinton’s claim. Heck, I’d be impressed if there were 10. Then again, these days it seems people can come up with studies to support whatever they want to believe.
So, anybody want to defend Clinton’s claim and come up with references to those 100 studies he’s talking about?
