"It’s no wonder that Republicans from Maine Sen. Susan Collins to House Speaker Paul Ryan have been struggling to manufacture lists of conservative economists to vouch for their voodoo. But more appalling than the grotesque GOP disinformation campaign itself is the Republican regurgitation of decades-old lies to sell it.

The passage of time has not made the GOP falsehoods any more true."
