“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

More Nobel Prize winners support Kerry

This time, ten past Nobel Prize winners in Economics say "Hell, yeah!" to Kerry and "Hell no!" to George Bush:
According to the letter, the Bush administration has "embarked on a reckless and extreme course that endangers the long-term economic health of our nation."

Kerry "understands that sound economic policy requires a substantial change in direction, and we support him for president."

The differences between Bush and Kerry regarding leadership on the economy "are wider than in any other presidential election in our experience.

Bush believes "that tax cuts benefiting the most-wealthy Americans are the answer to almost every economic problem." But the tax cuts "were poorly designed and therefore have given insufficient stimulus to job creation."

In contrast, the Nobel laureates believe that Kerry "will restore fiscal responsibility" and is committed to helping families meet rising the cost of higher education and health care, and is committed "to work with our allies and trading partners to promote global growth that lifts up workers around the world."
