CNBC’s Liesman slams CNBC’s Santelli on the air

Steve Liesman, the chief economics correspondent for CNBC, said the following to CNBC’s Rick Santelli on the air on Monday:

“Rick, It is impossible for you to have been more wrong…. your call for inflation, the destruction of the dollar, the failure of the US economy to rebound. Rick it’s impossible for you to have been more wrong. Every single bit of advice you gave would have lost people money Rick. … There is no piece of advice you’ve given that’s worked.”
