Former Treasury Official Lashes Out At Perry
Former Treasury official Bruce Bartlett threw some jabs at Texas Gov. Rick Perry Friday morning over the GOP presidential front-runner’s comments towards Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke.
“Rick Perry’s an idiot, and i don’t think anyone would disagree with that,” Bartlett said on CNN’s “American Morning.”
Bartlett’s lashing is a response to controversial remarks Perry made about Bernanke while campaigning in Iowa.
“I mean, printing more money to play politics at this particular time in American history is almost treacherous, or treasonous, in my opinion,” Perry said Monday.
Bartlett served at the Treasury under former President George H.W. Bush and was and adviser to President Ronald Reagan.
