Michigan Rep. Thaddeus McCotter joins us to explain why he is a big fan of the “Cash for Clunkers” program and what impact this is having on Michigan’s struggling economy. Why is the Congressman so supportive of a plan that other Republicans say is more government intervention on behalf of the auto industry while lawmakers never lift a finger to help other sectors of the economy? How worried should we be by the dealers pulling their hair out because the bureaucratic delays are preventing them from getting their money?
We also ask Rep. McCotter about the conflicting messages out of the White House over whether middle class tax hikes will be necessary to pay for Obama’s version of health care reform. What does McCotter think this possibility says about Obama and his agenda? Find out why McCotter says any coming tax hikes are nobody’s fault but Obama’s.
