Seriously?

Hillary on ABC's "This Week" (via The Caucus):

I’m not going to put in my lot with economists...Elite opinion is always on the side of doing things that really disadvantages the vast majority of Americans.

Ouch. Not only has she recklessly proposed repealing the $0.18 gas tax to "relieve" millions of Americans (I'm sure...who's to say the consumer will reap this short term benefit?), she is flat-out acknowledging that economists think this is a terrible idea. Good move.

Unfortunately it probably will be for her as she is telling low-income voters exactly what they want to hear, condoning their short-sightedness on the issue.
