Hi Lisa, can you find this letter? So far I find articles on fox and wnd referring to it but no actual link or letter. I'm curious to read it myself. Thanks!

This letter completely supports passage of the legislation. I didnтАЩt count the number of signers. At least one signer is from Princeton.

Hi Bill, I found the letter but the names are not listed. Everywhere I look I see "200+

Economists" or reference to the more famous economists who signed it, but not the full list.

The most famous, most experienced economist on the planet, Chuck Schumer, said they're all wrong. I have a copy of the letter if you would like me to email it to you. Again, not the signatures though.

Here's more from the article:

A few of the notable signers include Nobel laureate Vernon Smith, former Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers Kevin Hassett, former Director of the Office of Management and Budget Jim Miller and Robert Heller, former president of the Federal Reserve Board 1986-1989.

In addition, professors from the University of Chicago, Princeton University, Duke University, the University of Virginia, Columbia University and the University of Notre Dame, among others, were listed on the letter dated Aug. 3.

I have searched and searched (and IтАЩm pretty good at searching) and have only come across references to this letter on far right news sites.
