The National Republican Congressional Committee is harassing Wisconsinites with computerized “robo-calls” that refer to the emergency stimulus plan as a “failed” initiative.
We’ve had our criticisms of the stimulus, which we think was weighted far too heavily in favor of tax cuts for upper-income Americans.
But before a bunch of Washington insiders tell Wisconsinites the initiative is a failure, they might want to consult with researchers on the state’s university campuses — whose work keeps this state on the cutting edge of health and behavioral research and positions it to reap the economic benefits that go with being a scientific leader.
