Jan Schakowsky
Progressive maven Rep. Jan Schakowsky's miracle economic solution
This out of the box thinking progressive (who is married to Robert Creamer - the guy who wrote the blueprint to pass government healthcare while in prison for stealing $2.3 million dollars) has some innovative solutions to solving the nations deficit crisis. Her plan? "Most of the deficit-cutting will come from tax increases" and "implementing a cap and trade program to tax companies for carbon dioxide emissions implicated in global warming". Ref.

Congresswoman says Americans too stupid to understand debt ceiling - but struggles to explain it
There's no shortage of idiotic arguments being made as the debt ceiling battle heats up. You may recall last week the President said Americans are too stupid to understand the debt ceiling argument. Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky has doubled down on that argument, and she also apparently knows a thing or two about stupidity. Schakowsky simultaneously argued that Social Security was fully funded until 2037, but if nothing is done on the debt ceiling Social Security checks won't go out this month. Huh? Ref. Source 8
