23. To someone not in the 0.5% bubble she sounds like an airhead.

She also, when saying that she gives a damn about "income inequality", sounds like an airhead liar.

Chuck Todd... we all know where Chuck is at, don't we? He opens ".... billionaires... are talking peace, climate change, women's issues and finance, so where does the US fit into this fiscal discussion?" That isn't the most disgusting intro to the topic of all time, it's just Chuck Todd doing what he does. He's paid well by MSNBC, I hear.

Penny Pritzger... says everything that needs to be said about this US admin w.r.t. economic policy.

Please, DUers: name *one* thing different between Dem and Rep administrations in this regard. Now think about it and explain: what does this say about US democracy?
