For instance, why can't Robin Carnahan tell you who the "middle class" is? One would think that if you dedicate so much time to talking about the "middle class" you would know who they are.
Carnahan drops the ball when it comes to simple questions.
A second example might be her recently announced "three step plan" to prevent economic meltdowns: its first step is stopping bailouts, which, ironically, actually tend to follow economic meltdowns. One might also take issue with the years of silence that preceded her mad rush out the door to oppose bailouts: intellectual consistency seems to have been abandoned.
The other two steps are (depending on how Carnahan decides to phrase them that day - it's not consistent) creating incentives for small businesses and taking aim at special interests.Yawn. If that doesn't sound profound or ground-breaking, it's because her three step plan could have been pulled almost word for word from any of a thousand bland and unoriginal stump speeches, the main commonality being that none of them have any sort of actionable item or guidance on how to accomplish their objectives. When pressed, Carnahan refused to answer specific questions about her "plan".
Running away from the tough questions.
It's also a re-hash of a plan from weeks ago to cut government spending, which you can find in one of Carnahan's hilariously bad youtube videos (Quote of the day: "As much as I love beef, we gotta stop the pork."). That plan was to stop pork, stop bailouts to put middle class first and stop reckless spending. So yes - she's basically just rearranging the same plan over and over again and give it new names.
