One can only wonder at how this woman got elected to Congress, let alone got a driver's license.

I'd like to put her in an airtight room filled with 100% CO2 and see how she feels.

Nah, just let her talk for a few minutes in an air tight room, she'd suck all the air out of it in no time at all.
 
How the people of Minnesota elected this women is beyond me.

She's nuts.
 
Meh, its just a slip of the tongue. No big deal.

However, she is factually incorrect about the Depression being less severe than the 1920-21 recession. By the time FDR had come to office, the economy had already declined 25% and bottomed a few months after he took office.

Also, she says the "Roaring 20s" were the time of the fastest growth in history. That's incorrect. Its also disingenuous because the 20s were like this decade - there was very high growth at the top of the income scale and stagnation everywhere else.

So you're telling me that a Republican is being completely full of shit about our economy???? Wow, thats a new one!!!!
 
Just another government-hating idiot who sits in Congress taking her orders from her puppet masters, folks.

Nothing new.
 
She also blamed Carter for being president when the first flu epidemic hit and now blaming Obama for this one.

She was wrong.

She is a loose pea shooter, who doesn't know the facts but likes the attetion she gets by making her false but interesting statements.

If your side really defends her, you are as lost as the media is saying.:cuckoo:

That's factually untrue. The decline in 1920 was more than any time during the depression. It was just that the government didn't attempt to intervene, and didn't create a depression of out a recession, that differentiates the two depressions.

"The decline in the GNP price deflator from 1920 to 1921 is the largest one-year percentage decline in the series in the more than 120 years covered."

Just like all bubbles financed by easy credit. Do you think the poor benefit as much as home flippers when inflation feeds it way through a housing market? Hell no.

Dude, read your own link. They talk about the GNP price deflator, not GNP. The deflator is a measurement of inflation or deflation. It excludes economic output. What matters is real economic output, which fell nearly 30% after deflation during the Great Depression, far exceeding the real decline of about 10% in 1920-21.
