Transcription
Hey, pal, how about a couple hundred billion? I'll pay you right back. This is what the Republicans call managing the economy. Hey, pal, half a trillion just to kind of get me over the hump. They should call it mortgaging our children's future. What's another trillion between friends? They've tripled our national debt. Hey, pal, just a few more years. That's all I need. Sorry, pal. I'm sorry.
