Naw, can't work

What, a politician? Tell the truth? Can't work...

  1. Hillary has become the quintessential "Pander Bear". She is, however, sticking to her guns (for now) even though virtually every economist has called the plan bogus, and Michael Bloomberg said...

    "It’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard in an awful long time from an economic point of view. I don’t understand why you think there’s any merit to it whatsoever. We’re trying to discourage people from driving and we’re trying to end our energy dependence. We don’t do that—oh, and incidentally, we’re trying to have more money to build infrastructure. All three of those things go fly in the face of giving everybody $30 a year. The $30 bucks is not going to change anybody’s lifestyle. The billions of dollars that we would otherwise have in tax revenues can make a big difference as to what kind of a world we leave our children."
