Top Biden Econ Advisor Jared Bernstein Squirms When Confronted With Biden’s Own Words On Debt Limit. All right. On 2/5/2023, Fox News host Shannon Bream asked Top Biden Econ Advisor Jared Bernstein, “Here’s one member explaining his intention to vote no on raising the debt ceiling, because this massive accumulation of debt was predicted, because it was foreseeable, because it was unnecessary, because it was the result of willful and reckless disregard for the warnings that were given and for the fundamentals of economic management.”
BERNSTEIN: So, I don’t know who that lawmaker is.
BREAM: Well, let me tell you, it was President Joe Biden —
BERNSTEIN: Oh, OK.
BREAM: — back in 2006.
BERNSTEIN: So, look —
BREAM: But does he have a point because Republicans say that’s their position now.
BERNSTEIN: No, the Republicans’ position is they are threatening to default in order to get what they want and the debt ceiling should never be used as that kind of threat.
We have an economy that is you and I have been discussing is growing strongly. The idea that you would put that at risk, the idea that you would put full faith and credit of the most important debt security in the world, U.S. treasuries, at risk is just antithetical to anything this president stands for.
BREAM: But is that — but is that what President Biden was doing when he said this in 2006 and voted no?
BERNSTEIN: Now, in 2006 —
BREAM: In 2004.
BERNSTEIN: Well, this was — in 2006, let me make this point, in 2006, do you remember a debt ceiling debate that was anywhere close and as heated as this one?

On 2/6/2023, Top Econ Advisor Brian Deese doubles down amid Biden failures: “The State Of The Economy Is Strong”. A reporter asked Deese, “what would you say is the state of the economy, just specifically drilling down on the economy?”
MR. DEESE: Yeah. Well, on Friday morning, when I was over with the President in South Court, he — he said this, so I will just say what he said on Friday, which is that the state of the economy is strong …
Reporter: You mentioned how the President said Friday that the state of the economy is strong. We had a poll out over the weekend — ABC News — that found that 41 percent of Americans say they’re worse off financially now than before this President took office. How do you explain the disconnect there of why this administration’s message about the strong economy is not getting through?
MR. DEESE: Right. So — so, I think — I think the poll that you just cited is actually consistent. So, about two thirds of Americans say that their — their circumstances are better than — than before — you know, say it either way … that is, in part, reflected in the data that you’re saying — is that more Americans believe they’re in a better economic position in terms of their own balance sheet
Reporter: And just to clarify on the stat that was just cited, it’s only 16 percent of those in the pool — poll believe they’re financially better off than when they entered — than when Biden entered the office — the White House. It’s 42 percent feel about the same. So, just to clarify, it’s only 16 percent are feeling better off. Yeah, so what’s your — so, when do people start feeling — more people start feeling better off about the financial future of the country?
MR. DEESE: Well, look, I think that — I don’t want to — you know, I don’t want to repeat myself, only to say we have more work to do … those are all reasons why we should — we should continue to — continue down the path of the progress that we have made.
