On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ) said that he doesn’t believe spending cuts are necessarily needed and “we’d be better off” if the current tax cuts expired, but he wants to see tax cuts for the middle class.

Co-host Becky Quick asked, “How would you go about cutting spending?”

Pallone answered, “Well, first of all, this is all being done, these Medicaid cuts are being proposed in order to pay for the Republican tax plan, which, basically, just helps the very wealthy and large corporate interests.”

Yes, DemocRATz ARE really that stupid. They’re not pretending. They cannot avoid revealing all.
And, yes, everything that they touch turns into Obamastuff.

Cutting Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ) would be a small first step....

Those large corporate interests paid for my house, cars, vacations, 401k, good salary, lots of benefits...it wasn’t given to me, I worked for it. Still do.

How many jobs do medicaid recipients make?

I’m just graphics worker in investment banks but they treat workers very well and very generously.

[metmom]

Exactly.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Increase spending. Let the Trump tax cuts expire but cut taxes for the middle class. Then waive your magic wand and the deficit will disappear. Voila!!

[Irenic]

Tax slaves.

Deport all the illegals you can find, and stop all the Medicaid, SNAP and other benefits for the others, and the tax cuts more than “pay for themselves.”

[Paladin2]

“...Tax slaves...”

Indeed.

Long I have been one.

[GOPJ]

Democrats want to gin up fear in vulnerable people - because other than hate that’s all they’ve got.

[Mouton]

Who is we sucker?

[shanover]

This guy is idiot regurgitating lies. No cuts are being made to the beloved Medicaid.

[EinNYC]

He would certainly place if you entered him in a liars’ contest!

[flamberge]

Talk about being completely f’ing out of touch….

The Congressman is not "out of touch". He is lying.

"Never give up the con" is the basis on which he continues to speak.
