The spending reductions in the debt-limit deal are just “fantasy cuts” because the U.S. continues to operate on a deficit, Rep. Connie Mack (R-Fla.) said.

“All of this talk about the cuts, the supposed cuts that happened in this last bill that passed, those aren’t cuts,” Mack said Wednesday night in an interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity. “Those are fantasy cuts, those are reductions in the rate of growth.”
