Art Laffer: Stimulus Plan Will Hurt The Economy - 'Government Spending Is Taxation'

By Fox Business / February 20, 2004 / marketsanity.com / Article Link

"Government spending is taxation. Government doesn't create resources, Stuart. They redistribute resources. Whenever the government spends $1 trillion, it takes $1 trillion from workers and producers who otherwise would - so government spending is taxation and as such, government spending will reduce the growth rate of the U.S. and will hurt the economy in bad, bad times."
