Grinning idiot Kevin Hasset says, “I don’t think any of us think” and then some other stuff, so he gets it partially correct:
Good lord, the man is innumerate.
We’ve been in Reagan’s voodoo economics for like, 50 years and have always had a deficit (except for when Bubba, er, Bill was prznint and raised taxes on rich people) and every time that a Republican is running the joint they make the deficit worse by a) cutting rich people’s taxes and b) going on a Pentagon shopping spree.
This administration is different because The Orange Clown is also running a smash-and-grab operation.
So of course the debt should be downgraded: they keep grabbing more Ameros for themselves and bringing-in less to the treasury.
