Mick Mulvaney: i only met with lobbyists that paid me

Hey, if you want to lie to yourself about what the tax cuts did, feel free.

Okay, here’s a straight question that I’m giving you the opportunity to answer.

Did the tax cuts increase the deficit?

No, they cause more economic activity and pay for themselves…

Wow. Okay. No hope for you.

it’s not like dems care about the debt anyway.

Or the Tea Party.

They tried. But, only dems can cut the deficit and debt. it’s like Nixon to china.

So passing the tax cuts did not raise the debt?

Why would it? It’s not a fixed pie.

If the debt was, say $1 million the day before the tax cuts passed. Was the debt higher, lower or the same the day after?

It’s a min/max curve not addition…

And you can bet every Democratic candidate worth his or her salt will have Mullvaney’s quote in their election ads.

He’s in some alternate universe where adulterers are cool and our deficit isn’t increasing.

Must be an interesting place to live.
