Dingell sees “no cure” for Michigan Dr. Rob Steele has the prescription
(ANN ARBOR, MI)–Congressman John Dingell, (D-Mich.) admitted on Bloomberg TV last night that he doesn’t have a clue about how to solve the mess he helped create in his 55 years in Washington.
“It is pretty hard to see how anything could be done to cure the problems we have in Michigan,” the 83-year-old Dingell told Bloomberg Washington Editor Al Hunt in an interview broadcast at 6:30 p.m. Click here to see the text of the interview.
“It’s outrageous to see that the longest-serving member of Congress has no clue about how to help the working men and women of Michigan,” said Dr. Rob Steele, the 52-year-old cardiologist who is running for the GOP nomination to replace Dingell in November. He has been a physician for 29 years and is a founding member of a 300-employee medical practice based in southeast Michigan.
“Of course, Congressman Dingell doesn't know the cure,” Dr. Steele said. “He doesn’t know how to make the proper diagnosis and prescribe the right treatment: He’s telling us he has lost hope. “
“My prescription to heal Michigan is: First, stop wasteful spending; Second, get government out of the way of business and industry; Third, repeal the Dingell/Pelosi healthcare plan; Fourth, make the 2001 tax cuts permanent so business owners can feel confident expanding, therefore providing new jobs the unemployed in Michigan need.”
“Michigan’s workers deserve better than what we get from career politicians like Dingell,” Steele said. “The cure will come when I get elected in November.”

HUNT: On the economy your state of Michigan and your depression, 14 percent unemployment, President Obama’s person in charge of the auto industry recovery, Ed Montgomery, is now leading. Is the administration doing enough for Michigan, for the auto industry?
DINGELL: Well, Michigan people will tell you there is not enough being done and, quite honestly, it is pretty hard to see how anything could be done to cure the problems we have in Michigan. We are not the worst off state, but second worst …
