In an interview with NPR’s “Morning Edition,” potential 2016 presidential candidate former Maryland Democratic Gov. Martin O’Malley said that Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio’s belief that big government hurts the middle class was “patently bullshit.”
HOST STEVE INNSKEEP: We spoke with Marco Rubio on the day that he announced his candidacy, a Republican of Florida. And he said an interesting thing that a number of other Republicans have said. He argues that an active government actually keeps people frozen at their economic status because if you are well off, if you can afford a lawyer, if you can deal with regulations, you can maneuver through government and stay prosperous. And if you are not so well off, it’s harder to work the system.
Is there some truth to that? You were a big city mayor; you know how government works.
O’MALLEY: No, I don’t think there’s any truth to that.
INNSKEEP: Not any truth to that?
O’MALLEY: No, I don’t think there’s any truth to that.

He sure knows how to ruin a state. Wonder if he can do it on a much larger scale?
Well, he certainly should recognize BS when he sees it. He's certainly spewed enough here regarding his own economic policies.
