Do you have a degree in arguing with me?

This video is all over the web today, which is also replete with snide remarks about Contessa Brewer's degree in journalism and anticipating answers. It's pretty funny; what seems to be implicit in Brewer's questioning, prompted by Rep. Mo Brooks's opinion that we were/n't in a depression in recent years, however, is that Brooks, a Republican congressman, couldn't possibly know more than Contessa Brewer, journalist extraordinaire, about anything as complex as economics.
