Everyone, Joe? Vice President Joe Biden said Sunday that “everyone guessed wrong” on the impact of the economic stimulus, but he defended the administration’s spending designed to combat rising joblessness. Everyone? I suppose in a world where we ignore those who opposed the Generational Theft Act. Biden said inaccuracies in unemployment predictions shouldn’t undercut the […]
