Buttigieg on Exaggerated Infrastructure Jobs Estimate: ‘I Should Have Been More Precise’
Breitbart ^ | 04/12/2021 | Pam Key

Posted on 04/12/2021 6:37:00 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg admitted on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that he “should have been more precise” when confronted by the accuracy of the number of jobs that he said would be created by President Joe Biden’s infrastructure proposal.

On Buttigieg’s claim to several media outlets, anchor Chris Wallace said, “It turns out the study you’re citing from Moody’s Analytics says the economy will add 16.3 million jobs without the infrastructure bill, and 2.7 million more with it. So it doesn’t, as you said last Sunday, create 19 million jobs. Again, Secretary Buttigieg, why mislead folks?”

Just say you lied about the jobs and the bill is really about mafia style kick backs.

You've got to be an incredible, light-weight Leftist tool to have Chris Wallace school you.

” ‘I Should Have Been More Precise’”

He and Chasten (or whatever the hell the little man’s name is) probably nailed their interior decorator the night before and it clouded his thinking.

This guy seems to routinely mistake what he wants to be true with reality, and he seems to think that his own powers of persuasion are able to move the needle in favor of castles in the clouds and against rubber meeting the road. I don’t think Pete is any worse than a lot of us on this point, but he is in a position of authority and power.

He certainly has a vagina confused with an anus.

Chris is a little late to the party, Dems always mislead people, as do their brothers in the media.

“precise”

Is it wrong of me to hear that with a lisp when attributed to ButtBoy?

I said trillions, I meant thousands.

Sorry about that.

‘BootyPlugger’ is typical of the Xiden/Kameltoe administration’s hiring philosophy and it is easy to see why. The folks we see on TV from this administration are there only to be a front for ‘Plugs’. They are all failures at what they were doing before being tapped by Xiden. They have no idea what they are supposed to be doing or how to go about it. In fact I suspect many are hired to be an ‘in your face’ to conservatives. The real plotting and execution is being quietly done by Jarret, Obama, et al.

I hope I live long enough to see many of these folks imprisoned or decorating a lamp post.

Moody’s Analytics says the economy will add 16.3 million jobs without the infrastructure bill, and 2.7 million more with it. So it doesn’t, as you said last Sunday, create 19 million jobs.

this is why actual reporters are needed to ask follow up questions... 16.3 plus 2.7 is 19 million... but is that what wallace was trying to say. his reporting is duplicitous at best... 16.3 million without the infrastructure bill. 2.7 MORE? with it or just 2.7? MORONS.

Buttplug somehow thinks he’s qualified to rebuild our infrastructure after running South Bend into the ground.

Maybe a more precise translation: "I shouldn't have lied about something that can be fact checked."
