You know, our deficits are 10 percent of GDP, higher than they’ve been since any time in the postwar period really. We have a big hole to dig out of, and we have to figure out how to do that in a way that’s balanced, good for growth, fair to people as a whole.”
We truly live under the jackboot of tyranny.
They’re still digging out of the hole while the rest of us are trying to climb out of it.
