Former House Majority Leader Calls Health Care Crisis, Global Warming "Hyped Fictions"

"Global warming might be, in fact, one of the most hyped fictions in America today," says former Majority Leader Rep. Dick Armey (R-TX). He went on to say that the “most treasured umbrella objectives in public policy” right now are to “create the illusion of a crisis and then...demonstrate the need for their policies of government growth and income redistribution as a resolution of the crisis." Armey concludes that global warming and the health care crisis are “high-profile fictions designed to serve the political purposes of the majority party.” (0:45)
