So is anyone who disagrees with Hillary Clinton’s policies now an elitist? ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos asked Clinton if she could name a single economist who supports her proposal to suspend the gas tax for the summer. “I’m not going to put my lot in with economists,” Clinton responded, claiming that “elite opinion is always on the side of doing things that really disadvantages the vast majority of Americans.”
Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich contacted two of Clinton’s economic advisers Sunday to see if they were surprised to learn that Clinton doesn’t care what they think. One of them hadn’t heard the remark yet and couldn’t believe Clinton would say it. The other dismissed it as “politics as usual.” But as Reich noted, “that’s the problem: politics as usual.”
