His message is one of defeat and despair. The more the economy grows, the more consumers take it on the chin. Do you think this guy ever kicks his shoes off, pour himself a beer, and put some dumb rock-n-roll record on the stereo? I doubt it -- he's probably too angry at brewers for pushing what is in fact another addictive drug, too beside himself with worry that his amp is drawing electricity from some distant nuclear power plant.

We had hims peak at OSU law last year. He was here testifying against the
awful tort reform bill the legislature passed. I thought he was
mesmerizing, just wonderful. And yes, he talkeda bout some of those things.
I am sorry to see you joining in the pack baying against tort lawyers,
which means plaintiff's laywers. Of course the defense tort bar and the
unsurance lawyers do not love Ralph. Sure, a lot of plaintiffs' tort lawyers
are sleazy. But what they do is help injured people recover from harm done
to them, often by large corporations. Yeah, if we had national health we
wouldn't have this problem. But tort reform anad damages caops are no
substitute for national health. Ralph is is on the side of the angels, a
real American hero. He has probably done as much for as many Americans as
any living human being.
