Economists Say Higher Energy Prices WIll Hurt The Economy

In a USA Today article (1/24/11) on the brightening economy, there is this statement: “And 71% of the economists said they’re concerned that higher energy prices will slow growth.”

Seventy-one percent of economists think higher energy prices will hurt the economy. And yet the Obama administration and other liberal Democrats are trying to push energy prices up dramatically via cap and trade, all the while talking about how they want to help the economy and create jobs.

This is the incoherence of the left on full display.
