When asked to name a credible economist who backed her idea to use a windfall profit tax against oil companies to fund the suspension of a tax on gasoline, Clinton responded:
"I'm not going to put my lot in with economists," she said on the "This Week" town hall. Clinton added that the tax holiday would work "if we actually did it right."
She continued the line of attack, criticizing more generally
"This mindset where elite opinion is always on the side of doing things that really disadvantage the vast majority of Americans."
But at least one member of the town hall was unconvinced. When given the chance to ask a question, an anonymous woman told the candidate:
"Call me crazy but I listen to economists because they know what they're talking about."
[Love that woman].
Clinton's proposal has met widespread resistance from policy analysts of all political persuasions.
If you have recommended this or will, thanks!
