 @JesseLH88 I'm not a fan of Ramaswamy, but Gillespie did a terrible job here. This was an unfair hatchet job.

Simplistic and foolish video. 1. Growing the economy is absolutely as essential part of a healthy economy, without which deficits are imposssible to avoid. 2. Spending cuts should be focused on welfare programs, which are not only a huge percentage of government spending, they are actively destructive to society. 3. By simply removing the yearly "emergency Covid" spending since 2020, we would have massive spending cuts. 4. Cutting Social Security for those who have paid into it is simply theft. Changing it for those who have not yet joined it, such as making the age of matriculation many years older to compensate for vastly higher life expectancy, is absolutely fair game. This is weak, sloppy reporting by Reason.
