Fox News “Special Report” host Bret Baier interviewed Vice President Vance at a steel plant in South Carolina on Thursday Baier asked: “The economy shrank for the first time in three years. People are pointing to the tariff policy. There are people looking at their 401(k)s who are worried. What do you tell them? Is this going to work?” “The first thing is, when you talk about the economy, this is Joe Biden’s economy,” the vice president said. “We inherited $ 2 trillion of debt, the highest peacetime deficits in American history. A $ 1.2 trillion trade deficit, which fundamentally means we’re not making enough of our own stuff. And that the president came in and he said, ‘This is not always gonna be easy.’ It would’ve been very easy for Donald Trump to do what administrations in the past have done, which is borrow a lot of money and continue fueling the national debt. He said, no, we need a reset. We need American workers to have better jobs.”
