House Budget Committee Chairman Says The Federal Government “Can Afford Anything” (VIDEO)
Democrat Rep. John Yarmuth is the chairman of the House Budget Committee. During a recent appearance on CNN, he claimed that the federal government can afford anything.
Really? Is this what passes for the truth now?
If the federal government can afford anything, why not just make every American a millionaire?
Here’s a partial transcript via Real Clear Politics:
REP. JOHN YARMUTH: The number itself is meaningless. I mean, I read Joe Manchin’s statement, I’ve listened to him, he has no understanding of how the federal government monetary system works when he compared it yesterday to his household income, that has no relevance to what we can do.
It’s not a question of what we can afford.
