The McCoin does not understand economics or finances, as he freely admits.

Not that any of them really do, but you are misquoting him. He said it wasn't his "strong point". He probably meant more polictically than he did in terms of knowledge of economics.

And yet, isn't he one of the richer members of Congress?

Well - for sure he has one of the wealthiest spouses. Kinda like Hillary I suppose.

OK, his strong point is being a WARMONGER. And establishing himself as a stupid WARMONGER means he is even stupider on economics.
