CNBC legend Rick Santelli — who understands how capitalism and free markets work better than 90% of Congress and probably every single person in today’s White House — takes precocious blowhard Ezra Klein to school on live TV.
Unfortunately, the idea that government creates jobs and economic growth is believed not just by Klein but by millions of people who read these same incorrect analyses from him and others, day after day after day.
