Obama: If There Was an Asteroid Heading Towards Earth, Republicans Would Cut Taxes for the Wealthy

EXCERPT:

OBAMA: “So, inflation is a problem. What is the Republican answer? Look, I mean, if they had a great answer, that would be one thing, but you know what their big economic policy is? They want to gut Social Security and Medicare and then give big tax cuts to the wealthy and some of the most successful corporations in the world. That’s their agenda. And by the way, that’s their answer for everything. Debbie knows. Gary knows. Back in 2008, 2010, inflation was low, and unemployment was high. What was their answer? Tax cuts for the wealthy and cut back on Social Security and Medicare. It doesn’t matter what the problem is, no matter what — listen, if there was an asteroid heading towards Earth, and we got everybody in the room and said, what are we going to do? ‘I think we should cut taxes for the wealthy.’ No, that’s not going to help you. That’s — how is that going to help you?”
