Is Rick Perry the dumbest appointed secretary ever?

Infamously, He wanted to cut the department while he was running for president and then forgot he wanted to do that.
LINK rick perry thought he was going to be a global oil and gas ambassador
And recently
Taylor Kuykendall @taykuy·Jul 6
DOE Rick Perry at coal plant:"Here’s a little economics lesson: supply and demand. You put the supply out there and the demand will follow."
He doesn't know how supply and demand works
The DOE has a long lineage of incredibly smart secretaries and then we get a guy who made a 2.5 in ag science at A&M
Edit: downvotes from aggies
Edit2: poli board is dumber than I thought

DeVos is clearly the stupidest. And she has no prior experience doing anything but fund-raising.

Apparently neither did Steve Jobs because he kind of said the same thing and did it.
It's called supply side economics, e.g.; the customer does not know what he or she wants until you tell them

He isn't completely wrong. To start with there cannot be a demand for a product that doesn't exist. You have to supply a product and if it is successful and well done the demand for it will grow.
Demand can only exist when there is no supply if talking about generic ideas/needs and not specific products.

Apparently it is YOU who doesn't understand supply and demand.
If you have multiple sources of energy available and once source has been priced out of the market by artificial means (government regulations) and then you remove those regulations thereby allowing producers to produce at a price that is cheaper than the alternatives then of course the demand for that product will go up.
Allow me to simplify so that liberals can try to keep up.
Let's say Bob grows apples for a living
Now let's say Tom grows Kiwis for a living.
Now, let's say apples are cheaper to grow and distribute, but the government believing that kiwis are better decides to put a prohibitive tax on apples. making apples cost 3X as much as kiwis.
Now obviously Bob is going to lose customers to Tom over this, as planned. Because who wants to pay 3X more for their fruit?
How is Bob going to react to this lack of demand? Of course he's going to cut the supply. So we can say that the government regulations resulted in a lack of apple supply, yes?
Of course we can.
So, if we then remove the regulations Bob is going to start growing apples again, And what happens if Bob starts growing apples again and they are cheaper than Kiwis as they were before the regulations? Oh thats right the supply of apples at the store creates a demand for those apples.

So hey. Tell me how it works in relation to his statement and why you consider his statement dumb.
I look forward to the humor.

I'm going with Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders.
'The Pope created AIDS'
'I like Eric Clapner.'
'We need to move money from cancer research to AIDS research. Because old people die from cancer and that's good for social security because they're taking it out. Young people die from AIDS and that's bad because they're paying it in."

No question the guy has a room temperature IQ, but he's not even the dumbest appointee in tRump's cabinet (pick one from among DeVos, Carson, and of course Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III), much less the dumbest ever.

He's blowing smoke up their asses but I actually don't see that much of a problem with that statement. Why do you think LNG production and transport is so huge now?
Really not that controversial of a statement unless you are an academic dipshit who enjoys splitting hairs over demand vs. quantity demanded.

Rick Perry is, well a certified nincompoop.
Oops, Texas.
Oops, Texas.

never forget that when Perry was governor of Texas he willfully ignored evidence that Cameron Todd Willingham was innocent of murder and executed him anyway.
LA Times
he tried to execute several mentally handicapped people as well.
I dont know if its as simple as saying he's "dumb", but there is very definitely something profoundly wrong with him
