WHAT: At a news conference for the Congressional Out-of-Poverty Caucus, Nadler said, “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.” WHY IT’S DIM: If $14 trillion in debt is not a deficit problem, then what is?

Cure: Sounds like St. Augustine’s “Lord, make me chaste, just not today.”
