She does not want to put her lot in with the economist

I think this has for more problems than just lowering the tax, so a bigger subsidy on gas?, she does not want to listen to the economists? How exactly is she going to do the budget? Everything you do has an impact on the economy and future problems, I would have to say that I am not liking her with us or against us mentality, just because you disagree does not mean you are against us.

Clinton Gas Tax Holiday: Hillary Attacks Economists

Sen. Hillary Clinton is sticking to her policy proposal of a gas tax holiday, and the breadth of her now-famous statement that members of Congress are either "with us or against us" has been extended to economists. Today she joined George Stephanopoulos for a "This Week" town hall.

When asked to name a credible economist who backed her idea to use a windfall profit tax against oil companies to fund the suspension of a tax on gasoline, Clinton responded:

"I'm not going to put my lot in with economists"... Clinton added that the tax holiday would work "if we actually did it right."

She continued the line of attack, criticizing more generally "this mindset where elite opinion is always on the side of doing things that really disadvantage the vast majority of Americans."
