DINO Watch: Harold Ford Is Looking Out For Big Business

12:43 pm EST January 25th, 2010 | News | 8 Comments

Harold Ford’s terrible attempt to run for a senate seat in NY continues, now with him arguing that the key to restarting the economy is a tax break for big business. In any other time, this would be a stupid idea, but it’s even worse now as we try to recover from this recession caused in part by that brand of conservative economics.

Ford compounds this stupidity by calling for a balanced budget. Clue for Ford: You don’t solve a deficit by creating a trillion dollar giveaway for big business.

BONUS: Here’s video of Harold Ford praising his “friend”, NRA head Wayne LaPierre.
