Listen to the first 30 seconds of the video. Stark is not saying that our ABILITY to borrow is an indicator of our wealth, he said, in response to the question "So the more you owe, the more you are worth?", he said "in the national scheme of things, you are quite right".
He didn't like admitting he had made an error, and then got angry.
I did, twice. In that first 30 seconds Jan interrupts him a couple of times and talks over him. We are also coming into the middle of the interview, not seeing the earlier questions, it has been selectively edited.
I do not believe Stark meant what he said the way most here are interpreting it. I believe this for two reasons: Jan was being or is an idiot and Stark was frustrated in his lack of comprehension.
I give Stark a pass on the comments in the first 30 seconds, call it a slip of the lip or a 'misspeak'. All public people can say something in a manner that is subject to misinterpretation.
I will not give Stark a pass on being liberal POS, with a short fuse and one who is an embarrassment to Congress.
He couldn't stand that someone he would consider sooo inferior could expose him as the fool he is and he imploded
