DICK ARMEY
(Richard Keith Armey | Richard K. Armey)
The mantra was not heard much after the collapse of the ‘smart’ markets in 2008 and the ‘dumb’ governments had to come to the rescue of the economy all over the industrialized world.
Amrey was known for his colorful albeit exaggerated use of the English language. Exactly what the analogy meant in his unique lexicography no one really knows. other than the fact that Armey hated bipartisanship. His extremist views characterized all Democrats as "enemies" of the nation. Fortunately, his viewpoint is not the majority even within the Republican Party.
Richard Keith Armey is an American economist and politician. He was a U.S. Representative from Texas's 26th congressional district (1985–2003) and House Majority Leader (1995–2003). He was one of the engineers of the "Republican Revolution" of the 1990s, in which Republicans were elected to majorities of both houses of Congress for the first time in four decades. Armey was one of the chief authors of the Contract with America. Armey is also an author and former economics professor. After his retirement from Congress, he has worked as a consultant, advisor, and lobbyist.
