Biden’s $6T budget brings high inflation, unemployment ‘like Carter’: Christie

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie compares Biden’s budget plan to Jimmy Carter’s, saying it will bring high inflation, deficits and unemployment

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie compared President Biden to former President Jimmy Carter on "America's Newsroom" Friday, suggesting Biden knows he's a "one-term president" and that his $6 trillion budget plan will bring high inflation, deficits and unemployment.

CHRIS CHRISTIE: People can spend their money a heck of a lot better than the government can. We've seen that over and over again. 

But here's the bigger point: It's Joe Biden's untruthfulness to the American people during his campaign for president. He didn't campaign on spending the most money since World War II. He didn't campaign on a six trillion dollar budget. He campaigned on being a person who was going to bring both parties together and craft compromise. 

BIDEN, SEEN AS INCREASINGLY LIBERAL, WOULD EXPLODE THE DEFICIT WITH NEW BUDGET

And he gets an 'F' for that in his first couple of months here as president. He's not doing it. He has decided to go hard left. 

He knows he's a one-term president. He wants to try to get some type of legacy for himself. And his legacy is going to be: He is going to be the next Jimmy Carter. Huge inflation, huge deficits, low economic growth, high unemployment. You watch, that's what this kind of budget's going to bring to the American people…

We've got to start talking about how this is destructive to the American economy that we helped to build when we were in charge of all parts of the government just five years ago. And this is the kind of thing that we need to be talking about and let the American people understand that every dollar the government spends is a dollar they can't spend, or save for their future, or invest in their small business. 

That's the kind of economy Joe Biden wants.
