Rick Santelli: Stop Spending, Stop Spending, STOP SPENDING

This is the same guy who arguably launched the tea party movement with his rant last year from the floor of the Chicago Exchange. Now he’s done it again in another brilliant improvisation, spewing on Steve Liesman, CNBC’s financial correspondence who was reporting from the White House lawn. Liesman is known for his book, The Liesman Rules, in which he claims that government spending results in a ten to one improvement in an economy and that tax cuts do nothing.

I don’t think Santelli was buying.

By the way, the reference to Liesman and Russia relates to Liesman’s reporting on the Russian economy – such as it is.
