“Does the White House not understand economics, or do they just not care?” Fox & Friends First asked Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) on Thursday.
“Oh, they just don’t care.”
I’d have said, “Both.” But Mr. D’s doing fine on his own:
“They’ve heard the reports. Look, even CNN has put out reports concerned about this massive spending, what’s it’s going to cost, for inflation,” Rep. Donalds replied.
Spending like the Democrats’ $1.2 trillion “infrastructure” bill and $3.5 trillion budget resolution are great for politicians and government contractors – “It just sucks for everybody else,” especially seniors and low-income Americans, Rep. Donalds said:
“The only people that are winners are the politicians in D.C. and some of the favored hands that get these contracts. That’s about it. It’s the American people that suffer, because Joe Biden has no idea – frankly, because he’s never had a job a day in his life – what the impact is when you spend this kind of money this fast, throwing it into an economy that’s already overheated, because they have too many people staying at home, not enough work – all by design.
“It is the American people who are going to suffer. It’s going to be seniors who are going to suffer. It’s low-income Americans who are going to suffer.
“But, if you’re on the Beltway, or you’re a politician, oh, this is great for you. This is a good plan for you – it just sucks for everybody else.”
“It’s this kind of economic idiocy that the White House knows is going on, but they’re busy playing politics. They’re busy paying back the people that helped them get into office,” Rep. Donalds said.
Grab the pitchforks, folks, and throw these sociopaths into the sewers, where they belong.
