Trump adviser Larry Kudlow says the rising deficit is coming down 'rapidly'

The federal deficit is “coming down rapidly,” White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said Friday, even though the deficit has risen and is expected to continue to grow in the years ahead.

“As the economy gears up, more people working, better jobs and careers, those revenues come rolling in, and the deficit, which was one of the other criticisms, is coming down,” Kudlow said in an interview on the Fox Business Network. “And it’s coming down rapidly.”
