Schumer caught in lie on Meet the Press

According to the Cato Institute Senator Chuck Schumer misled the public with this statement concerning his support of the stimulus bill:

Those on the hard right say, “Cut government spending, let’s go back to
the old Reagan days.” Well, the last president who did this when we
were in this type of situation was Herbert Hoover.  Herbert Hoover said
the government should do nothing when we were in a recession, not a
depression.  We did nothing and it related [sic] to a depression.

Question Chuckie: Did Hover really do nothing or does that common fallacy only help you get through all those earmarks?

The fact of the matter is Senator Schumer lied to America and all of Long Island in order promote his policies.  I’m not posting this because I find it surprising however if you feel compelled to act please contact his offices and ask him why he did this.   Also feel free to tact this up in the column of “why I should not re-elect Chuck Schumer”
