AG Blumenthal: Lawsuits “Create Jobs”
March 4, 2010
Carter Wood over at Point of Law posted a little gem yesterday. Wood reports that Richard Blumenthal, Connecticut’s long-time attorney general and now a candidate for governor, recently made the extraordinary claim that all those lawsuits he’s filed over the years “actually create jobs.” Well, knock me over with a feather.
For those interested in something closer to the actual truth, I refer you to a report that Pacific Research Institute’s Lawrence McQuillan authored. McQuillan’s study catalogs the devastating impact of excessive litigation on our economy - including thousands of lost jobs.
