From The War Room w/ Jennifer Granholm 8/17/12 (video cut just a bit short at the end)

Discussion re Charles Koch Op-Ed in Newsmax with Jeffrey Sachs

“Amazing, isn’t it? The hubris of this editorial is stunning,” economist and professor Dr. Jeffrey Sachs tells Jennifer Granholm. Sachs, director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, and Granholm are discussing an op-ed piece by Charles Koch, a major right-wing political donor. Sachs’ recent editorial says a Koch-type vision of small government is winning out because of billionaires like Koch, who want to cut their own taxes. “He’s winning because in America right now money dominates the political process,” says Sachs.
