How can anyone watch Hassert and believe this nonsense? The leaner and meaner government stole your wallet so get another credit card and spend more?
Hassert who wants to become the Fed chair does not understand Bureau of Labors Statistics math.
There is a gas leak in the White House.

Absolutely insane response????
First, this is literally false. The personal income report counts transfers, but BLS report he was asked about doesn’t. Inflation outpaced wages.
But EVEN IF talking about personal income, saying “the only reason you’re poorer is we took away your Medicaid” is crazy!

BREAM: The Bureau of Labor Statistics says inflation is now outpacing wage growth. How do you answer that concern?
HASSETT: That's a technical matter. Personal income includes things like transfers and food stamps that we have been reducing as part of our effort to make government leaner and meaner
