#shorts On 3/6/2023, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “The President has said that his plan on the budget would reduce the deficit by $2 trillion over the next decade. How did the administration land on that number of $2 trillion? And then, does that mean that the President does believe the current path of growth in the national debt is hurting the economy? I’m trying to gauge his concern level around the growth of debt, given that we’ve heard about that $2 trillion number so much.

KJP: So, what I’d say is: The President understands his fiscal responsibility. He understands how important it is to lower the deficit, which is why he was able to do that the first two years by $2.7 trillion … So far, their proposals have been to add $3 trillion to the debt
