Open letter from Nobel Laureates in support of economic recovery agenda

The American economy appears set for a robust recovery in part due to active government interventions over the past year and a half, including President Biden’s American Rescue Plan. But, reversing years of disinvestment in public goods and addressing the country’s long-term needs—including building toward sustainable and inclusive growth and facilitating our clean energy transition—will require more.

[OCS: This is a lie. Our economy is going downhill fast, crippled by stagflation, profligate government spending, burdensome taxes, overreaching regulations, and the deliberate destruction of the fossil fuel sector.]

Success in the 21st century will require building upon the bi-partisan infrastructure deal that has passed the Senate, which prioritizes investments in our nation’s “hard” infrastructure. The President’s Build Back Better agenda employs a broader conception of infrastructure by making critical investments in human capital, the care economy, research and development, public education, and more, which will reduce families’ costs.

[OCS: The progressive communist democrats have redefined infrastructure to include massive spending on illegal aliens and social welfare programs—pouring billions of dollars into non-governmental organizations that provide voter support for progressive communist democrat policies.]

While we all have different views on the particulars of various economic policies, we believe that key components of this broader agenda are critical—including tax reforms that make our tax system more equitable and that enable our system to raise the additional funds required to facilitate necessary public investments and achieve our collective goals. Because this agenda invests in long-term economic capacity and will enhance the ability of more Americans to participate productively in the economy, it will ease longer-term inflationary pressures.

[OCS: Communism in progress—supported by useful idiots in academic institutions funded by massive government grants.]
