And so I think that this will fizzle sometime by Labor Day.

He said, sorry, diplomatically, I'm not going to answer those. Okay, George W. Bush has said, hey, no, I'm good. Okay, so you hurt yourself because if you tell somebody what you think, 50% of the people don't like you. They stop buying your sneakers, quote Michael Jordan, right?

Okay. This won't go anywhere. It turns out we do have some fat and double spend and maybe even possibly some fraud in the government. There's possibly some Medicare or Medicaid fraud. I get it. There's fraud in lots of different things. And we can trim it and maybe we will trim it. But the best thing we could do is to go back to what Bush and Clinton did, which was pay as you go.

We had pay as you go legislation in place. There were guardrails put up. This is the amount of money you can spend. If you're going to tax somebody, that's fine. You've got to cut spending.

We were running a budget surplus by the end of 2000. George W. Bush unclipped us from pay-as-you-go because of what happened with the Iraqi war. And by the way, he cut taxes in March, Bush, and we went to war in October. It was the first time in US history that we went to war without a tax increase. In fact, we had a tax cut, and that really started the wild trajectory of deficit spending.
