Yeah, I think Adam Smith said that too.

And *that*, Madam...is what you get for *thinking*, when you´re obviously not used to it...

Is demonstrating stupidity becoming a requirement for public service, or just a perk of the position?

She just proves you can n ot cure "stupid". Time for Norton to go back and re-do Economics 101. Obvious she never took the course.

No stupid, the Federal Govt. is NOT shrinking it is growing...which leaves few dollars for private sector growth.

Also with the Feds stealing more in taxes no one wants to contribute to the madness by making money from investing in growth of their company.

A typical Democrap, knows nothing, speaks from their posterior and expects everyone to believe them...

Give that "lady" an honorary PHD in business economics--what´s that u say, she already has one!! s/o
We are in TROUBLE!!

kak·is·toc·ra·cy
[kak-uh-stok-ruh-see]

noun, plural kak·is·toc·ra·cies.
government by the worst persons; a form of government in which the worst persons are in power.

And too few mosquitos is the reason for the latest malaria outbreak. Right?

I guess she thinks creating more overhead (taxes) is good for the bottom line! Stuck on stupid!

Shrinking??? Is this person from an alternate reality?

This triple whammy victim, AA hire is almost nearly but not quite hardly as stoopit as Sharpton.

I´d have more if the government would only take more from me. Got it. Good greif, I hope my island doesn´t tip over while uncontrolable laughter has me buckled over unevenly.

Is there any doubt why we´re doomed?

Which worse Holmes stupidity or the ignorance of the people that elect her??

Eleanor Know-Nothing Holmes` comment specifically directly at the No-Information Voter.

This ridiculous statement ranks right up there with Pelsoi`s statement saying unemployment checks stimulate the economy.

If govn bureaucrats lying were a federal offense we`d have to build more prisons to hold them all.

This is a classic example of your brains on drugs.

An embarrassment and worse. She is not the only one. Only by the willing suspension of disbelief and downright denial of reality is it possible to maintain that people capable of choosing and empowering such representatives are truly capable of self-government. This woman and others like her are luxuries America may not be able to afford much longer. There is a limit to how much foolishness, ignorance, stupidity, corruption and demagoguery the system can absorb and continue to function. It makes some people of both races feel good to pretend that people like Norton are competent and worthy of the trust bestowed upon them by a clueless electorate - but there will come a point at which a boat overloaded with such types will capsize and sink, just the like island of Guam if the load is too great.

OMG, these people take themselves seriously, maybe they should just keep their mouths shut and not let on just how dumb they are. Also they are so dumb they don´t even feel embarrassed by their stupid statements.

Don´t they teach math in the plantation? This woman is just stupid, but ignorant. The government has been growing since obama has been in office.

Delusional.

I don´t thik she is stupid, she just has bad luck when it comes to thinking.

Maybe she can get together with another duskier-hued member of the CBC and jump up and down on Guam until it tips over.

This is what progressives believe, that you can´t get along without big government to provide jobs and to give things to people. They deny and ignore all the clear evidence to the contrary.

Unfortunately Madame, the reason the private sector is unable to recover is because of the business hostile climate the progressives have created as well as the increased taxes and the massive regulation burden that has been foisted on the Country by BO and his buddies. It´s all about risk and having BO in office has made it VERY risky to be in business.

Progressives will never get it,OR they know it but also know that if there was no need for big nanny government, there would be no need for progressives.

That´s the stupidest thing I´ve heard from the Dems in the last hour! Good grief, does this elected official really believe what she´s mouthing? I pray not. If so, her constituents need to help her get an education in fact, and in real-world economics.

The western model
of "compassionate socialism"
riding the horse
of "cutthroat capitalism"
is in deep trouble today
precisely because
socialism goes
from riding behind the saddle,
to riding in the saddle,
to spurring the horse
and cutting its throat
at the same time.

Is the Delegate being paid? If she is, I think the Delegate ought to delegate her salary to keep the White House tours open.

What country is this person in? Because she SURE isn´t in the United States!

Nurse, 10cc thorazine, STAT!!!

I wondered what her title Del. stood for; must be Delusional.

Ah Bugs, where are you now that we need you. What a Maroon!

Hoo, boy.

FTA: The delegate discussed her economic theory during last Friday’s House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee hearing on "The Impact of Sequestration on Women and Families."

And she´s no doubt scheduled to be the first to testify at the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee hearing on "The Impact of Sequestration on the Stoopit."

But say -- apparently, the IQ Bell Curve is one of the rare ones without an end on the Left tail, either.

Stupid and Marxist...a common coupling among the black caucus

Norton´s rationale proves why dem pols merit being called, ´´the looney left!´

If you rule out stupidity, you´re left with corrupt...

This proves that Eleanor Norton (D-District of Columbia)has never even been close to an economics class

Dear E. H Norton:
Retarded persons use their brains but those brains malfunction. Idiotic persons´ brains function, but are not used.
Which applies to you?

She and Sheila Jackson Lee should be sent to Mars together...

to locate that flag left by previous U.S. astronauts... ya think? ... s/o

Contrary to other comments, I do believe she is correct. As an example, if we had more Government workers, they could hand out more free stuff, like farm subsidies, and thereby increase the demand for more field hands and the purchase of more farm equipment, thus increasing the need for more tractor salespersons and such. It´s all in one´s perspective as to how politicians think.

The reason that many people elected to Congress are completely ignorant must be that you have to be dumb to run for office. Wonder if the people who voted for her are her mental equivalent. Not to be rude, but this woman is
incompetent of holding her position if she thinks the Government is "shrinking". Perhaps she means the individuals are getting smaller because Mrs. Obama is mandating they eat their veggies instead of their fast-food.

Folks, you just can´t make this stuff up. This is why I hate it when people think liberals should shut up. Let them talk; their stupidity runneth over.

I keep telling you guys that the Democrats are just as racist as they have ever been. They just pretend to be all-inclusive. Here is ANOTHER of their "useful idiots" that they promoted and put into power to keep certain people of color down. The Dems choose the dumbest or most corrupt people of color they can find to put into political office to show that they really care about people (but who are also easy to manipulate from above). They also choose, promote and subsidize (pay off) local community "leaders", reverends, and politicians to keep their thumb on the people and ensure they stay ignorant and dependent. They make sure that the intelligent ones who run for office are ridiculed and shunned. They don´t want anyone thinking for themselves. Think this was not intentional? Why would a political party change after hundreds of years of bigotry? They wouldn´t.

"Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life. ".

She´s a special kind of stupid.

Good grief. Eleanor is as dumb as Peelousy.

I think it has now all been said about Norton, and she is stuck with it.

Thank God she has no vote.
