Friday Fun: Harry Reid Rips Phil Gramm, McCain |
 |
Nothing like getting the Senate Majority Leader to weigh in to stoke the controversy. Here’s Harry Reid on John McCain’s top economic advisor, Phil Gramm:
“Graham has a view of government which is that government is the enemy, not a friend,” Reid said in an interview this afternoon withCongressionalVideo.com. “And, obviously from his comments, he now believes the American people are not his friend either, and he has a low view of the American people. Thinks they’re a bunch of whiners.”
In fact, Reid said, “every segment of our economy is in deep trouble. Deep trouble. We have the housing market, which is falling apart. We have gas prices which are astronomical, people can’t even afford to drive to work in many instances.”
The Senate Majority Leader saved some of his powder for his colleague from Arizona. “You tie that in with what McCain has said, that he doesn’t understand the economy…and he’s relying on someone who says that the economy is in good shape and the Americans are a bunch of whiners. We should all worry about the Republican nominee.”
Click through and watch the video, it’s great! Go Reid!
The trickle-down theory has been shown to be the catastrophe it is for the economy, and Gramm is not the only advocate of T-D who’s desperately holding his head in the sand and pretending everything is okay. He and his ilk are trying hard to convince us voters that it’s just a misconception that everyone insists on seeing when he’s proclaiming it isn’t there, ignore that man behind the curtain (Wizard of Oz). The right wing “Think” tanks are going to be overstocked with lots just like him in the wake of the worst administration ever.
