cathy17cat I thought Conversatives love Less government but using federal employees as hostages and free labor.. smh
Talk about a no. 1 jackass point of view.
What an arse.
Fake economist and human.
bobbartnick And I’m sure the Emergency Essential workers are just pleased as punch to not be allowed to take any vacation days- or time off at all- after the holidays as they work without pay. 😡
Totally clueless how normal folks live
Oh boy - a new homeless population. Maybe build a tent city on the White House lawn.
And because he would pay for their bills. So definitely better off if that is the case. smh clown
He’s out of his ever loving mind. Some vacation. Their kids still have to go to school!!
Say what?
he needs a slap
Hassett looks too much like Andy Daly, can't handle it
What an ass.
What an idiotic statement!
How about we take away Kevin Hassett's paycheck for a month, send him home and call it a vacation!
The HORROR of knowing that this person is paid for his knowledge. Absolutely TERRIFYING!
Another 5 star idea for people with only stars and hope. JACKASS, likely got his cheque cashed last week. Personal damage to individuals and property are likely near record statistics 2017. Perfect time to tear down the government and available aid. JACKASS
Does anyone, anyone, in the Trump administration have a functioning brain? If so, that person needs to explain to Trump and his minions that you can win the battle (for the wall) but still lose the war (for the support of Americans).
This asshat thinks people who are getting paid are better off?! I have family that works for third party contractors with the government. They are currently out of work and will not get back pay. Please tell the story of those workers!
That pays the mortgage and buys food how?
I’m old enough to remember when Pelosi and the Left celebrated the Great Recession and it’s massive job losses as “funemployment” but apparently not old enough to remember CNN having problems with that
And it’s always nice to have actual money when you are on vacation
Usually when people take vacation they still get paid. Oh I can’t text you, you absolutely had a Lobotomy.
Did he work for Zuma and the Guptas prior to the gig with Trump
WTF 😲
Says the guy voted “most likely to get punched out” in high school.
Economic nightmare adviser. Where, no why do we pay him again?
He looks just like he sounds.
that is a comment worthy of banishment from the country
Or eat?
FakeNews
Unfortunate but essential fight to secure the southern border..
This comment makes me want to puke. No clue as to what it means to struggle for a month to month. The last thing you would be thinking about while waiting two months to get paid for work you were doing, that it would result in a paid vacation.
Does he really think furloughed employees just went on holiday while they are not getting paid? Is he that dumb? They are sitting at home trying to figure out the least amount of money they have to spend to get the most bills covered and keep a roof over their heads.
Plus they get all the money in the end.
Vacation days are neither here nor there without paychecks to get you there. He and Trump: birds of a feather.
Tell that to the guy who was told to pay or vacate on his rent this week.
Wait, what? Sounds like Pelosi calling unemployment & food stamps a way to get out of working a bad job & government money stimulating the economy. Our country is in trouble up to its eyeballs & it just keeps making things worse. There will be hell to pay & you'd better be ready.
Time for you to get furloughed! We'll see if your mindset changes then!
He needs an atomic swirlie.
All you fed workers, you're not being paid but consider yourselves lucky (?) cause you don't have to use vacation days. My heartfelt condolences, your country is being run by an administration top heavy with IDIOTS....
I will be taking this down but Goverment workers would have been better off if they hadn't taken his advice and borrowed eight trillion to sure up Government pension funds. Now the Goverment is broke, east coast advice and schools.
What an ass!!!
This guy will die of colon cancer. 🤞🏾
This man is stupid.
Just fire em, they are inessential anyway
Wow! So callous!
What an idiot. I only hire the best and brightest. Really?
Don’t you just hate people like him. That’s how people with money talk try taking away their money and see how they like it
That laughing smerk on his face is awful.
So, they are getting unemployment insurance. It’s not ideal but is not nothing.
Moron
Men’s Wearhouse called, you need to make another payment on that suit, buddy.
Hum... then I guess we need these shutdowns here.
Wow talk about insensitive.
The man has absolutely no common sense. How can these people look at themselves in the mirror?
This is how Trump voters justify things. A Republican with more money and/or education says something, they all repeat it as a fact. Bet I’ll hear this at work in the next week.
I saw a post that 800,000 Gov workers not getting paid today My response 20 million illigals are getting paid Buildthewall
our government still runs with people not working and aren’t getting paid Thise called non essential employees. Then why not lay them off let them work in the private sector which is expanding under this administration and save tax payer money for only the essential people
Just about stupid enough to match wits with his boss...lol
Soothing words from Kumbayah Kevin. Too bad people can't feed their kids with them.
Remember to vote.
He's more than welcome to share his big fat paycheck with any number of govt workers who can't pay for the basic necessities to sustain life. Kumbayah Kevin.
Demonstrating his ignorance. Since his words are also cruel, he is demonstrating that he is actually ignant.
They don’t get it. It is not about the hostages (federal workers). It is about what right for our country. We can debate the merits of both sides, but federal workers are not pawns to be played with.
It’s almost as bad and out-of-touch as andersoncooper calling AOC a radical because she wants everyone to have healthcare.
Every government employee who has a federal credit union or a government focused bank like USAA can get money to cover their expenses.
Love Kevin Hassett
No really. Is he high?
Not surprised. Is he going to support their families? What about the essentials? Work and nooo pay in high risk jobs. Common.
This guy actually looks as dumb as he is. Does he think workers are on paid leave? Does he have any fu€king clue how this actually works?
Dork
What an idiotic thing to say.
dumbass
Trumpeta hires the BEST!!
You can tell who didn’t read the article. It was about people being on vacation at Christmas FFS.
Usually people get paid on vacation days....ok Kevin. Jesus Christ what an ass.
Stupid!
Easy for a WHEA to say, tell it to the line of unpaid Fed. workers at the Food Bank lines ... doesn’t include as stated in the Washington Post; $91M losses per day by Fed. Contractors - like me. 2 bad as in the “Apprentice”, the Nation can’t say to you WHEA & POTUS; YOUR FIRED!
Ooh. I better not run into this guy on the beach. Creep!
Stupid must be a shared gene by the GOP senatemajldr and definitely realDonaldTrump . EndTrumpShutdown GOPShutdown
He’ll never live that idiotic comment down! “Everything Trump touches dies.”
An inartful but true statement. Employees are off work, will get paid and are not using vacation. Biased MSM only want to report the inartful part.
In a time called Sane he would’ve apologized as soon as the words left his lips. In billionaire’s roe Trump world they probably agree with KevinHassett unsympathetic, clueless comment.
Is this guy for real. What a piece of crap for a man
What an ass. I hope there’s some Federal workers out there, that will pitch a tent on this guys lawn and hacks into his water and electricity.
What a tone deaf tool. Why is he being paid during the lockout Same for Trump , Senators and Congressmen as well as all their staffs
What the.....😲
Now we know how realDonaldTrump really feel about the government ShutDown Deplorable
It’s like he wasn’t present the day they taught economics at Trump University.
You are funny and stupid! Vacation is a benefit provided for by employers to be enjoyed by employees for them to be away from work to prevent a burnt out. What are you? Even machines need to rest! You are not thinking!
I cannot believe every day life.
Do these people do drugs in their spare time? Wtaf!
I can’t agree more! Most people In the US live outside their means. They do not have a plan for a rainy day.
He was LAUGHING. Laughing at the pain of federal workers doing without their pay so Trump can use them for blackmail. Have an (UNPAID) vacation! So what if they can’t pay their bills - let them eat cake.
In itself - That's true. But it doesn't help them pay rent or Food now. I am quite sure the Banks will pause any home / Car loans during that period or they'd cop backlash from it.
This guy was a stoner in college...
Yes, Fed workers enjoy being hungry together with their kids. They like to not be able to pay mortgage/rent, car payments, insurance etc.. etc.. They really enjoy being homeless. They’ve always wanted to sleep in parks.
Sure, nothing like unpaid vacation. Are you nuts, Mister?
Duh...
Some lost vacation days:
What a joke! My goodness...every news outlet needs to let Americans know that this government-Mitch McConnell can pass the bills that the house has passed. Pass a Clean CR and over ride the lunatic-Trump by two-third vote in HOUSE and SENATE!
Empathy is nonexistent in the trump administration. The skewed logic that comes from them trying to spin their policies is mind blowing.
Nice - not getting paid must be a real vacation
How many times you going to tweet this
No words.....
You sound like a damn foo. How can one be so inconsiderate and unsympathetic. There are people who are really out here hurting
Was he under Prozac or other opioids when he did this interview ! Out of reality ! 😂
There is something very wrong with your way of thinking. You are a very uncaring person in my opinion. Shame on you and Trump
Idiot!
The word for someone like this in Britain is “pillock”
Another simpleton
What a bleeping.....
This is one of Trump's economic geniuses who thought we would hit DOW 36,000 fifteen years ago. Spoiler alert: We didn't even come close.
They will all receive back pay...
This country is the joke of the world
Was he dropped on his head as a baby?
So lets take his paychecks away & make him use his vacation days, & see how soon he is out on the street with the other workers.
Wow these people are good. Maybe too good!!
Frick and Frack ... lord where do these peeps come from?
Wow. Why would WhiteHouseCEA go public with such lunacy? Who could possibly be better off without pay for 24 DAYS AND OVER CHRISTMAS?! Not 1 _known_ person in WhiteHouse makes any sense. The 2 Deep Throats do,though.😎
This is the guy they hired cause he will say anything, pull the string in his back. Look at this guy he is so happy to be in the spotlight his pocket protector is melting.
White House now.
Trying to decide if he’s more tone deaf than stupid ... or more stupid than tone deaf.
No worries, its only the democrats who are suffering. That’s why he sports that grin on his face
Real funny until you are in the same situation.
He has outdone Marie Antoinette. The poster boy for Trumpian relatability to the average worker.
The Trump administration is the biggest collection of stupid ever assembled. It is also the biggest collection of corruption ever assembled.... and vanity... and narcissism... and... god, let's get this thing over with already.
i wish someone smack that smile right off his face
I am not sure if Putin would ever stop laughing if he ever saw these Tweets. PutinsPlan
Did Trump hire this jerk?
That is so apathetic. Again, he represents what the people of MAGA cheered. America is hurting and severely damaged. This is a timeline in history and all of us will fit in it someway. I want my granddaughter to know that I was on the opposite side of the MAGA movement.
Plus they save on transportation costs. Not a bad deal at all.
Whatever you say woody
The joker!
They have time off with pay and don’t use vacation days. That is a nice perk. What is the average salary of federal worker? If more than $60,000/year and not enough in savings to cover a couple of weeks they should not work for us taxpayers. They aren’t good planners.
You don't have to use vacation days when you don't get paid.
Ahhh, he was actually correct when he said it. However, now a payday HAS come and gone for gov workers, it is no longer the case. Good job twisting reality CNN!
I guess that anyone who looks like that is gonna sound like that. Lets give him an unpaid vacation for a year and see how he loves the extra 'freedom'. What a fucking goober.
The Federal, union-thug, SWAMP creatures are always better off than the private sector. Huge benefits, more days off than a banker, you can't be fired for watching porn on the job, you don't have to do any work, then you get a huge pension.
Why is this man lying
Apparently Kevin Hasset is just another out-of-touch 1 %er because how vacation time usually works is you get PAID for it.
Can we shut his water off for a week?
They can’t eat stupid
What a Trump suck up. Economic adviser or propaganda officer. Mmmmmmmmm
I'm looking for a friend
Arrogant and Ignorant.................
Ridiculous
to be determined.. 1st u have to see how long b4 the govt reopens and then check to make sure none of the staff killed themselves.. instead of dying for their nation they could have moved to another and renounced their citizenship and been winner.. not dinner.. die4yourcountry?
Tell my mortgage company that
What
What a tool
Is he as dumb as he looks?
Such callousness!
See if you can find his 1999 book “The Magic Mountain: A Guide to Defining and Using a Budget Surplus.” LOL. This, from the guy serving in an administration with the largest budget DEFICIT in American history. He’s a crackpot.
No, vacation are planned events in which one does not break the pay period cycle. So seriously how did you become an economist?
Yup. Unemployment is just one big vacation. You can tell these jokers never went without anything ever.
When was the last time you had to sign up for unemployment during your vacation...? Just curious?
Jackass!
Please send Acosta to the wall again.
Sure , they just have to starv and sell some of their valuables in order to eat and deal with the collectors calling for their money and disconnect services while they are on “government shutdown vacation” what a fucking ignorant..
He should be made to stay home with a table stacked with bills. Low on food and short on money. Enjoy the time off
What? These poor Families are being held Hostage by His TrumperTantrum! He’s worth over 3 Billion, abc “He can Relate” dropthewallendtgeshutdown !!!!
Really? That’s how that works?
All for a wall that the criminals don’t even use smh 🤦♂️
True that. Last furlough I got a ton of time off. This time my agency was funded. I’m a little jealous this go around 😂😂
That is true but they also dont have the money yet. Obviously they will get paid and this will be a paid vacation without using vacation time. But they have to be able to make it financially until that happens.
Reminds me of Barbara Bush saying Katrina evacuees were better off living in the Houston astrodome...or some such stupid words. RealDonaldTrump KevinHassett GOP TheDemocrats
Is that one of your figure out🤔⁉️🤷🏻♂️
What?
WTF and GOP is standing with THIS? Truly Sounds like Russia has taken 800,000 US hostages 23 days ago!!!
It's a sad day when we're more worried about furloughed workers, who will get all their pay, over victims of illegal aliens' crimes.
Absolutely love vacations with no food and being unable to pay rent
As a federal employee I can tell you for a fact, that is correct.
Where does realDonaldTrump find these idiots!
base on this logic, the workers should not be doing interviews saying how much all this suck... they should be quiet and pray for months of shutdown... something doesn't seem right... I know what it is... this guy is a monster.
That spin doesn’t work...
I like paid vacation days. I think Mr. Hassett should now receive unpaid vacation since he thinks it is such a good deal.
I think they would rather get a paycheck.
Idiot
Yeah and Russian bread lines were intended to fight obesity
What the hell is wrong with this White House? How can they be so far out of touch with the middle class?
Bassett needs to take a permanent vacation
Please put that ignorant woman amy from women for trump on the air. Every second that fool talks, the democratic party grows by leaps and bounds.
Exfuckingscuseme?
Lol
Is everyone in the WhiteHouse totally clueless?
