Here is the actual interview that was promoted in my previous post.

My question did get addressed somewhat in this interview. Below is the question that is close enough to what I wanted to know to elicit some hints at the answer to my question. Perhaps this question was chosen because it lacks the sarcasm of my question.

I’ll have to look at the details of the proposal by Senators Warner and Corker. I know Warner purports to be on the side of the middle-class. Corker I have strong doubts about.
