The point, Spence, is that if he could get one right once in a while, even by accident, then maybe we could avoid some of the pain caused by his gaffes
For example, he said the 750B stimulus bill was going to keep unemployment below 8%. It didn't, as we all know. Maybe if he wasn't so sure that he was right and everyone else was wrong, we could have spent that 750B on things that would have helped somebody.
He said ISIS was the JV. If he wasn't so sure he was right and everyone else was wrong, maybe he would have directed more resources at hurting them earlier, which could have maybe thwarted one of their many successful attacks.
He said Obamacare was going to save the average family $2500 a year. If we knew how unbelievably ridiculous that claim was going to be, maybe some of us wouldn't be experiencing the huge rate hikes we are swallowing, which leave less money for food, rent, childcare, etc.
Not everybody is wealthy enough to casually laugh off the consequences of his mistakes.
