Dem congressman: "We don't have a deficit problem now."

Democrats are the gift that just keeps on giving--referring to their propensity to keep saying things so nutty that it just lays bare their lack of either intelligence or situational awareness.

Exhibit 54: Jerrold Nadler, Dem congressman from New York. At a news conference today he argued that the U.S. does NOT have a deficit problem.

"The real crisis [is] unemployment, not the deficit. We don’t have a deficit problem right now. In the long term, we have a deficit problem – we’ve got to get it under control. But not right now," said Nadler.

But not right now, you say? Well there is that little matter of the debt ceiling, and your Chicago Jesus seems to think there's a good chance Social Security checks might not go out if we fail to act in time. If you don't think *now* is a good time to "fix it," can you tell me a better time?.

It's almost hard to believe even a Dem congressman could be this dumb. Or maybe it's just "abysmally uninformed." Hard to tell.

Geez, you'd love to be this guy's opponent and get a chance to debate him (he probably wouldn't) on these issues. One wonders how he can claim we don't have a deficit problem. Surely someone out there knows him and could ask him to explain?
