You really let this pass:

So what I think the president is trying to do here is again exploit envy economics. This top-down redistribution doesn’t work. We’ve known it for six years. Look, it may make for good politics, but it doesn’t make for good economic growth.”

Really?

The next Democratic guest should have said, "Chuck ... I know you invited me to talk about deflate-gate, and similar inane topics; but I heard the Ryan segment and WOW! What was the DOW at 6 years ago? ... What was the Unemployment rate 6 years ago? ... What was the private sector job creation rate 6 years ago? Name a single economic metric that has not improved from 6 years ago! And you let all that go, unchallenged? I mean, WOW!"

Of course that Democrat would never see MTP again; but, why would anyone, that valued their credibility, want to?
