Opposition to Bush Tax Cuts
A news conference — Monday,

Ten Nobel laureates and over 400 other economists have signed a statement saying the Bush Administration’s tax plan will not create jobs and growth in the near-term and will lead to chronic deficits.
The statement was released on Monday, February 10, 2003 at a 10:00 a.m. press conference in the Holeman Lounge of the National Press Club in Washington, DC. Three Nobel laureates presented the statement to the press and outlined their criticisms of the Bush tax plan, as well as offered suggestions to stimulate the economy that would be effective and immediate.
