As furloughed Federal workers line up at food banks, a clueless Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said he ‘doesn’t understand why furloughed federal employees are going to food banks ‘ and recommends they get a ‘loan.’
‘I know they are, and I don’t really quite understand why,’ he told CNBC’s ‘Squawk Box’ on Thursday morning. ‘Because, as I mentioned before, the obligations that they would undertake, say borrowing from a bank or a credit union are in effect federally guaranteed.’
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had the perfect comeback, comparing it to the infamous ‘Let them eat cake’ comment which sparked a revolution.
