On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” House Assistant Minority Leader Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) claimed that while President Joe Biden “has increased a lot of spending” “We didn’t run up the debt” because they paid for things like the American Rescue Plan Act.
Clyburn said, “[Former President Donald Trump] made it very clear that if he were President, he would understand the sanctity of maintaining the good faith and credit of the United States of America. Now that he’s no longer President, he doesn’t care whether or not the country defaults. So, that’s the hypocrisy that’s in this. Look, when we were giving him what he needed to raise the debt limit, he was also increasing the debt, a $2-trillion tax cut that went straight to the debt, didn’t pay for it at all. And so, what we’re attempting to do now is raise this debt limit to accommodate all of those expenses that he ran up as President. And so, I don’t understand how my good friends on the other side of the aisle can keep a straight face, knowing full well that we are at the limit in large measure because of what happened for the four years of the Trump administration. If you look at what has been happening with this administration, this President has increased a lot of spending. We paid for it. We didn’t run up the debt. We paid for the Rescue Act. We paid for the infrastructure bill. These things — we believe in pay-go and we have been paying as we have gone along, and that’s what we’re trying to do now, raise the debt limit to accommodate those expenses that got run up when the — 45 was President.”

Printing money out of thin air is not ‘paying for everything’...........
Huh? According to what accounting principles?
such an alternative reality
And of course the MSNBCNNBSWTF networks won’t spend a single second challenging the blatant lies of these evil bastards.
Well sure, print money and spend it, what could go wrong...
“Never go full retard”
Or let the door knob hit you in the Clyburn.
How you can tell when a DemonRAT is lying: his lips are moving.
CLYBURN IS A DISGUSTING DEMOCRAT LIAR !
The gaslighting is universal. Some Republican PAC was running ads on Bannon’s War Room this morning. They declared a great Republican victory and every point they made was a big fat lie.
Anybody that does not mind lying and being lied to has already left the Democrat party.
And this is a prime example of what is wrong with black people in America, they don’t have the courage to believe the TRUTH. Clyburn is LYING HIS ASS OFF
Stupid, lying, ahole.
Perfect representative for his folks.
Where are the fact checkers?
CLYBURN has dementia, also.
Hank Johnson said that if they printed enough money to make islands they might not capsize.
He is incredibly incompetant. The only reason he is in Congress is that he is a black Demonrat.
