Paulsen: "Deficit is manageable"

He's just another bullshit artist. I'm so fed up with these rethug wall street hacks who are just waiting to take apart Social Security, Medicare and other entitlement programs.

I'm glad the Dems are forcing him to state his positions.

Now Wyden is exploring the economy's failure to help the middle class.

3. I think you nailed it.

But I still have no idea why this guy agreed to take this job, working with this bankrupt administration. He can't seriously believe he is going to actually get anything substantial done.

4. manageable?

Within the next 50 years we will extend the avg life expectancy by 20 years or more. What then? No one is ready for what will happen.

5. He's completely full of shit.

Now he says it "would be a big mistake to increase taxes" because it would harm the growing economy.

Just another rethug, useless twit.

6. He does not think there is any problem with the fairness of tax cuts.

Did I expect anything different? No, but now at least I know he's just another rethug.

7. Well, It Is!

But, just because something is manageable doesn't mean it's a good thing! Those two items are not correlated at all.

The deficits are ridiculously stressful on economic prosperity, and even though they're "manageable", they're still a bad thing. A bubonic plague outbreak is manageable, but that doesn't make it less horrible.

What a buffoon! It's difficult to believe how this guy became such a big shot in the investment banking world. What business would this investment banker extend further loans with this sort of balance sheet? Answer: None! It would violate every lending policy in their manual.
