CNN conservative provokes 'sour' response with 'bass-ackwards' understanding of 'Econ 101'

Raw Story  

CNN's Kate Bolduan remarked on a commentator's "sour" reaction to a conservative's justification for Elon Musk's sweeping cuts to the federal workforce. Republican political consultant Terry Sullivan, who helmed Marco Rubio's 2016 presidential bid, argued on "CNN News Central" that current levels of federal spending were unsustainable, and he celebrated the unelected tech mogul's seemingly arbitrary cuts to wide swaths of the government. "Republicans have been talking about cutting the deficit since as long as I can remember, for as long as I could vote, and it usually doesn't happen, and now it's actually happening," Sullivan said. "I feel like I've got to do Economics 101 because the theory is, 'Oh, my God, you know, I saved a lot of money for my budget this year because I didn't pay my mortgage' – like, that's not the way it works," Sellers said. "I mean, that's the only way that I can think about saying it, because you're actually cutting things that people need in their daily lives, and it's harming people like American farmers, that's my point."
