Another 'Oops' Moment? Rick Perry Quote on Supply and Demand Mocked
Energy Secretary Rick Perry has a reputation for verbal gaffes, so the internet pounced on his latest remarks.
In a visit to a coal-fired power plant in West Virginia, the former Texas governor and two-time presidential candidate appeared to misstate a fundamental economic principle.
“Here’s a little economics lesson: supply and demand. You put the supply out there and the demand will follow,” Perry said, according to a reporter on the scene.
What an idiot. Must be why there's an oversupply of coal in the world.
BTW - he got a "D" in "Principles of Economics" while at Texas A&M. It shows.
