Cox & Forkum are back

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

The political cartoonist team of Cox & Forkum are back, at least for one new cartoon.

This one illustrates the truth behind our Dear Leader’s plan for massively increasing the size of government.

From The Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights: Obama’s Backward Economics by Yaron Brook.

“Barack Obama claims that Americans can only stave off economic disaster by trillions in government spending–which means trillions of dollars taxed or borrowed to finance government make-work programs,” said Yaron Brook, executive director of the Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights. “Obama-nomics couldn’t be more wrong. “Prosperity requires that the government drastically cut government spending. That way, as much real capital as possible will remain in private hands, and be put to productive use by entrepreneurs to create valuable goods and services to sell at home and abroad. By taxing and inflating our wealth away, Obama will simply be creating more of the crushing debt that brought about the current crisis.”
