Everyone wins with my economic program. Well, everyone I know at least. Like many great economic minds before me, like Ronald Reagan, and... well like Ronald Reagan, I know that handing out cash to the rich and powerful is the key to economic growth.That's why I was the Senate's biggest champion of keeping stock options off corporate earnings sheets. In my view, there's no better way to jump start an economy than encouraging CEOs to artifically inflate their company's stock price. Some people say that's just playing into the myth of trickle-down economics. But you can't really hear those people if you roll up the windows of your Cadillac.
