This Regime is so done if our candidates can muster the balls to point out these quotes to the public.
I actually saw Goolsbee for the first time earlier today—I think it was on BloombergTV.
What a smarmy, oily specimen! He couldn’t give a straight answer to any question. He gave the most long-winded, terminology-laden, weasel-worded replies you can imagine. Big words, elaborate syntax, all of it meaning very little except that things are getting better, prosperity is just around the corner, it may be tough but two years ago we were on the brink of doom.... oh, and of course we kinda, sorta need to raise taxes so the government can give the right incentives and make the right investments to get private industry going again.
All of it smilingly, unctuously delivered, oozing flattery to his female interviewer. Some boy wonder! Oh what a brain truster! Come to think of it, most of FDR’s wonder boys ended up bailing out for academia as well. Even treasury secretary Henry Morgenthau eventually admitted that what they were doing wasn’t working.
