OUCH!

I don't think Steve Benen at Washington Monthly liked SC Gov Mark Sanford's WSJ op-ed this morning, explaining why he's rejecting the stimulus funds.

The problem, of course, is that Sanford is completely wrong. His analysis is not even close to reality, and it's unsupported by any evidence at all. But it at least offers us some insight into why a governor would deliberately choose to undermine the interests of his constituents -- he starts with a lack of economic understanding, follows it up by misdiagnosing the problem, and then concludes by making a misguided decision based on foolish assumptions.

Good to know.
