EXCERPT:

COLLINS: “Well, a growing economy at 3 to 3.5 percent, will double our economy in 20 years to $40 trillion. It’s been growing at 1, 1.5 percent for eight years under Barack Obama, which is the whole reason we ended up —“
RUHLE: “Sir, it was at 3 percent 14 times —“
COLLINS: “— with $10 trillion of extra debt.”
RUHLE: “— during that period.”
COLLINS: “Excuse me?”
RUHLE: “It was at 3 percent at 14 different points during that period.”
COLLINS: “Well, I guess, again, we can agree to disagree. But we ended up adding $10 trillion to our nation’s debt over those eight years."
