GOP Chairman Michael Steele Laughs Off the U.S. Economic Crisis

While GOP chairman Michael Steele guest-hosted Bill Bennett’s talk radio show, one caller said he could “debate” whether or not the U.S. is currently in the midst of an economic crisis. Steele laughed in agreement and claimed that “[t]he malls are just as packed on Saturday.”

CALLER: I can really debate about how about that economic crises is because I
look around and I don’t see people spending any less money than they have been.

STEELE: I’ve heard a number of people say that across the country. [LAUGHTER]
The malls are just as packed on Saturday. [LAUGHTER]

CALLER: The malls are just as packed. … You still can’t get seat in a restaurant.
