| 'It Doesn't Cost Zero': Chris Wallace Pushes Back Against Democrats' Myths |
| 2021-10-05 |
| [PJ] As President Joe Biden pledges to bridge the divide between those who want an immediate vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill and radicals determined to block legislation until they get the highest profligate social spending possible, Biden’s allies took to the Sunday shows. "We need to deliver for the American people," Cedric Richmond, a senior presidential advisor, told Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday. "And so, what we have work to do is make sure that Senator Manchin understands how this affects the future in terms of making sure that we invest in American families so that they can determine their own destiny. We think we have unity of purpose with Senator Manchin. That’s what the president does best and that is to talk to Senator Manchin and make sure that he understands the entire vision why we need to do it and what amount." But when Richmond echoed the Democrat lie that trillions of dollars actually equal zero, Wallace interrupted, explaining, "It doesn’t cost zero. Whether it’s $3.5 trillion or $2 trillion, it — or $1.5 trillion, whatever, it costs that amount of money. Now, you can pay for it either by borrowing it or you can pay for it by raising taxes on corporations and the wealthy, but it doesn’t cost zero." |
