SocraticGadfly: McCain REALLY doesn’t understand economicsMc

McCain REALLY doesn’t understand economicsMc

First, Carly Fiorina is an economic advisor of his? The person who ran Hewlett-Packard into the ground, or nearly so? If she’s an economic advisor, Schmuck Talk Express™ really is a putz on economics.

Second, contra people like Joseph Stiglitz, she claims the Iraq war has no effect on gas prices:
“High fuel prices have nothing to do with the Iraq War, per se.”

Raw Story also reminds us of this old Fiorina quote:
“There is no job that is America's God-given right anymore.”

Combine that her voluntarily throwing out this old Schmuck Talk™ comment:
“A year ago, John McCain started calling for a substantial reform of unemployment insurance,” Fiorina replied.

Reform here, would be used with the same Republican meaning as with Social Security: “reform” = “gutting.”

That ought to play really well in the industrial states this fall.
