Thomas J. Donohue, the president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, made an appearance on Morning Meeting with Dylan Ratigan Wednesday, where he talked about expanding the job market. Truth be told – when was the last time the Chamber of Commerce was even relevant on the issue? Anyways, we think this is a video worth watching, particularly the part where the interview escalates to acrimonious tones with Ratigan, well-known for his strong capitalistic stance, telling Donohue that “Unless the government and people like you that lobby to the exemptions that allow banks to [speculate with taxpayer money] get out of the way, we will never have fair play again in this country and we’ll have job creation by virtue of taxpayer theft, which is ultimately destructive, and I would argue, treasonous to this country.”
“Boy, when you get on this show, it’s really hard to get four words in without hearing six more,” said Donohue.
“Yes, it is,” replied Ratigan. “Especially when you talk nonsense.”
