RUSH: Tuesday night, NewsMax.com CEO Chris Ruddy interviewed Clinton. Ruddy said, "Do you think President Obama was smart to come out with a proposal that he knew was just totally unacceptable to the Republicans at a time when the country really is desperate for compromise?"
CLINTON: This whole thing is a little confusing. The speech that the president gave to Congress -- you know, he didn't propose any new taxes -- I personally don't believe we ought to be raising taxes or cutting spending, either one, 'til we get this economy off the ground. This has been a dead, flat economy, and the -- you don't want in something this flat, if we cut government spending, which I would normally be inclined to do when the deficit's this big, with interest rates already near zero, you can't get the benefits out of it.
RUSH: Then he went on to nuke Obama's class warfare thing.
CLINTON: We don't have a lot of resentment against people who are successful. We kind of like it, Americans do. It's one of our best characteristics, that if we think someone earned their money fairly, we do not resent their success. Americans lost the fact that whatever you think about this millionaire surcharge, I don't really care because I would pay it, but it won't affect me because I already pay the minimum income 'cause I live in New York. I'll pay more, but it won't solve the problem.
