#shorts a reporter asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “Just taking this topline number of nearly $3 trillion in deficit reduction over 10 years, still, the deficit is going to be huge over the next 10 years, and billions — or trillions of dollars will be added to the national debt. There are critics who I’ve spoken to who say that this budget, although a statement of priorities, doesn’t go far enough in dealing with the structural problems that the United States faces fiscally. So, I mean, the President has expressed concerns about the deficit. Does he think his budget goes far enough?

KJP: … Yeah, you know, the last administration added $3 trillion — or $2 trillion to the debt when they put forward a, really, irresponsible piece of legislation … That continues with this current — current Congress where Republicans are saying that they want to — you know, they want to cut or get rid of or repeal IRA — the Inflation Reduction Act — which would add to that deficit, because we know the Inflation Reduction Act actually lowers the deficit by more than $200 billion. So, we are trying to counter and really be fiscally responsible in what we’re seeing on the other side.
