Jordan: ‘I Have Confidence the Administration’ Will Do the ‘Right Thing’ with the Budget

EXCERPT: 
SCARBOROUGH: "I’m a little nervous. For eight years, Republicans under George W. Bush justified record spending, record deficits."
JORDAN: "Yeah."
SCARBOROUGH: "He was our guy, we were fighting a war, got the Supreme Court justice we want and helped move us toward bankruptcy. Republicans swore, and I know you did, too, when we get in power again, we are not going to repeat the same mistakes. Can you tell me the budget we passed that you guys pass that Congress passes is not going to make a $20 trillion debt —" [cross-talk]
JORDAN: "You are right. $20 trillion is serious. And GDP now is 1-1. That’s a dangerous place to be at. Mick Mulvaney is a good guy. He's one of the founding members of the Freedom Caucus as well. I like what they rolled out yesterday, increase defense spending, but offset it with the cuts to the non-deference spending. I think that's exactly what we talked about during the campaign. I think it’s the right thing to do. I have a lot of confidence in him and I have confidence in Mr. Mulvaney and that the administration is going to do the right thing."
