Sortie gagnante (avec Romney) du premier débat chez les républicains, Michele Bachmann commet une autre gaffe. Retour à la normale?
" Michele Bachmann (R-MN) is now boasting the value of conservative economics, with a tweet noting that Canada's economy has performed much better than the United States in the global recession, and that it had no stimulus spending.
Just think -- a Republican who wants the U.S. to be more like Canada!
One problem: Canada did undertake a major stimulus program.
It is true that Canada's unemployment in May 2011, the most recent month for which data is available, stood at 7.6%, compared to 9.1% in the United States. But the absolute fact of the matter is that Canada undertook a thorough stimulus program under Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his Conservative Party -- one that was relatively smaller than the one here, but given the apples and oranges situation of having different economic needs, it was still a very considerable one. In addition, it should be explained that even this stimulus was undertaken under some very high-profile political circumstances.
