Our local boy.

Alameda county Representative Pete Stark says "The more debt we owe, the wealthier we are". I've grown somewhat blase about politicians being ignorant morons, but these are the people who claim to be in charge of the economy? (He's on the Ways and Means Committee, which deals with taxation.)

Sorry, Pete. I apparently don't have the right to criticize your incomprehension, as I only have a bachelor's degree in Economics. (Oh, wait - your bachelor's is in engineering.)
