Mark Sanford: Stimulus Supporters Like Robert Mugabe Supporters

2:46 pm EST March 12th, 2009 | Republicans | 4 Comments

I’m sure him being from South Carolina had nothing to do with this.

Sanford told reporters in South Carolina that he still intends to turn down millions in stimulus cash, despite the likelihood of his state legislature accepting the cash — and criticism by House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) that rejecting any payments would disproportionately harm African American residents.

‘What you’re doing is buying into the notion that if we just print some more money that we don’t have, send it to different states – we’ll create jobs… If that’s the case why isn’t Zimbabwe a rich place?’…’why isn’t Zimbabwe just an incredibly prosperous place. Cause they’re printing money they don’t have and sending it around to their different – I don’t know the towns in Zimbabwe but that same logic is being applied there with little effect.’

    Wow, off the deep end here aren’t we?

    Zimbabwe is the poster child for printing money and getting hyperinflation. Citing them as a reason not to print money as a means for stimulus is quite legitimate. even if you’re from South Carolina.
