Paul Krugman has a fantastic post taking this lie apart (here).

So, what's going-on here? Simple. We have RECORD unemployment. This isn't a 'government take-over' of the economy. This isn't a massive spending designed to implement an agenda of socialism. I know that I'm supposed to balance my thinking with the idea that my side spreads an equal number of falsehoods. But seriously, the nonsense from the 'ring-wing noise machine' is tedious, loud, and wrong. Here's to Krugman finding another way to point that out. Cheers!
