Since 2008 – Progress Through Politics

The Poll I Want To See

I want a poll, with as large a sample size as possible, of American citizens who hold a PhD in economics, formatted as such:

The 2009 Stimulus was:

a. Too small

b. Too big (including if you think no stimulus was warranted)

c. Just right

The 2009 Stimulus was:

a. Distributed effectively

b. Too heavy on tax cuts

c. Too light on tax cuts

Public investment in infrastructure projects over the past 3 years has been:

a. Appropriate

b. Insufficient

c. Excessive

The past three years in economic history suggest:

a. Keynes theories are fundamentally sound

b. Friedman’s critique of Keyes was fundamentally sound

c. We need to develop a hybrid model for preventing and easing future economic crises

Gov. Mitch Daniels (R-IN), GOP darling and former Bush budget director who responded to President Obama’s recent SOTU is:

a. Our national hope

b. Someone fundamentally incapable or resistant to  learning from data and experience

There should be cross tabs for where respondents are currently employed: academy, private sector for profit, private sector non-profit (NGO), Government
