Newsday.com: Bush Cited Report That Doesn't Exist
Bush Thursday cited an economic report that says the nation's top economists forecast 3.3% economic growth if Congress passed his tax plan.
Another Big Lie, the report doesn't say that. I would have said another Big Oops but this is too consistent with Bush's previous citations of non-existent reports.
The report, a survey of economists, doesn't talk about the tax plan. It does forecast 3.3% growth, the same growth they forecast before the tax plan was introduced. So if anything the reports together say the $1.5 trillion dollar boondoggle has zero effect this year.
