Fox News Sunday anchor Chris Wallace on Sunday grilled Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg for exaggerating the number of jobs that would be created by President Biden's $2 trillion-plus spending proposal.
Wallace noted that Buttigieg and other Biden administration officials overstated the number of jobs that would be created by Biden's "American Jobs Plan" last Sunday
( 19million claimed versus updated estimates closer to 3 million)and then asked, "Why mislead people?"
His response?
So yeah, you're right, I should be very precise. The difference in jobs that that particular analysis suggests is 2.7 million more.
That is a great place to be.
So, if that is a great “ place to be” why inflate it six times?
At least some of the media is asking legitimate questions.
