| House Majority Leader Eric Cantor |
From Think Progress:
A survey of forty economists from across the ideological and partisan spectrum has concluded that on some of its most cherished issues, the Republican Party has simply taken leave of economic reality. For instance, economists Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolfers noted that one of the results from the survey — run by the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, which is hardly known for a left-wing slant — is an overwhelming agreement that the 2009 Recovery Act (i.e. the stimulus) brought down unemployment. But GOP leaders have spent years roundly denouncing the stimulus as a failure...
I personally don't think it is that the GOP has left economic reality specifically, but rather that the have taken a categorical leave of reality as a whole. But hey, that's just my humble opinion. This is an article worth reading in its entirety.
