Congressman: The more we owe, the wealthier we are

Umm...wtf?

In a clip that has to be seen to be believed, California Congressman Pete Stark displays the most unbelievable combination of economic incomprehension, stupidity, hubris, and to top it off tells interviewer Jan Helfeld to "get to fuck out" or he will be thrown out of the window for daring to expose just what a sack of... hot air Stark is.

A line that will now live forever, thanks to Congressman Stark: "The more debt we owe, the wealthier we are".

That pretty much sums up political "thought".

This guy Jan Helfeld is awesome...I love the premise of this interview...All government authority is derived from the people. No citizen has a right to use force against another citizen (unless in the case of defense or other adequate provocation). You can't delegate a right you don't have. So how can the people delegate to the government the right to use force against people without adequate provocation?
