CNBC Wow!!!

CNBC That’s because most Americans only make enough to live paycheck to paycheck. He has never had to

CNBC Ross is so old he can hardly open his mouth to talk, how is he the commerce sec.? People go to food banks to get food to feed their families bc there is no $ coming in. Trump shut down is a disgrace to our country. Open the gov now 45

CNBC Ross, you only have this job bc you've kissed 45 ass. This entire administration is stealing from our country. We must stop the GOP , it's not about party anymore, it's time to protect our country.

CNBC Missed 1 paycheck. 2nd on the way. Good thing they are not laid off in the private sector.

CNBC

CNBC I guarantee this man has no money concerns or health insurance concerns. Just like 45 he probably has no clue how to go grocery shopping or the cost of milk

CNBC His comments are infuriating.

CNBC That is absurd! How does he think they are getting money for bills and food?

CNBC You certainly don't look like you're starving or have missed a paycheck you probably have enough in the bank to give all 800,000 of the unemployed right now a paycheck. Why don't you just shut up and get the nation back to work before it affects the nation irreparably

wbrewyou CNBC drain this asshole's account give him $15 an hour to live on than take that pay away for a month then let him come back and open his mouth

CNBC Since he is wealthy how about he offer loans to people? LetThemEatCake

CNBC Wiiiiilbuuuuuur! You outta touch homey!

CNBC “Secretary Ross, there’s federal employees in food pantry lines” Ross:

CNBC Clueless

CNBC You are leaving out that they are guaranteed loans. Just stop the division. BuildTheWallAndCrimeWillFall

CNBC New headline: Privileged white man Wilbur Ross doesn't understand how people can be too poor to buy necessities

CNBC

CNBC Some people don't know, understand or care....that it takes a lot of $$$$$$ to live sufficiently, to raise children, to pay taxes.....

CNBC

CNBC There are things that a privileged life blocks you from, seeing necessity in others is one of them.

ChristineNoelTV CNBC This is what happens when you put the top 1% in positions of power, they can’t begin to relate to the other 99% of the population.

CNBC Never been without, live pay check to pay check

CNBC Sounds out of touch.

CNBC What do you expect from him. He couldn’t even understand why there wasn’t any people protesting in Saudi Arabia.

CNBC

CNBC sure says a lot, huh?

Commerce Sec. Ross defended his take on the financial challenges facing furloughed federal workers amid a firestorm over his earlier comments that he did not 'understand' why they might need help from homeless shelters and food banks.

CNBC

morgfair CNBC He doesn't understand. He's been living that misconception his entire life. Another grifter in the Trump administration.

morgfair CNBC Say it with me: GUILLOTINE.

CNBC

CNBC What? I read federal employees were last paid on Dec 28,2018. They were not paid Jan 11,2019. Federal pays bi-weekly and they will receive back pay.

CNBC The walking corpse suggests they should borrow from the banks. 'Hey, what's a little bit of interest, as long as it goes to my banker buddies!'

CNBC Why should millions of people be forced to pay interest just because Trump wants a not needed wall. Trump owns the shutdown and always will. If he were to get his wall now, what would prevent him from shutting down the government again the next time he wants something?

CNBC Just borrow more money. Get further in debt because their employers are trash FOH

CNBC How would he or any other member of trump’s WH understand living paycheck to paycheck? Money begets arrogance.

CNBC Wilbur 'King of Bankruptcy' Ross shows his true Oligarch Spirit. And I'm sure he'd suggest a company to borrow from, preferably at juice-loan rates.

CNBC ...we believe you, you don't understand...and that disqualifies you to hold that position. Time to resign

CNBC Fake outrage from fake news

CNBC This is confirmation that most of the Presidents men are out of touch with middle America.

CNBC What a classic example of what an out of touch idiot looks like. ! Make America great again ?

CNBC Wilbur Ross is a “fonzanoon”. (Noun) 1. A person who farts in the bathtub and then bites the bubbles.

CNBC I was inclined to blame SecretaryRoss comment on ignorance, his age & wealth but LaraLeaTrump is just as ignorant.

CNBC They’re taking free food because because it’s FREE. It doesn’t mean they’re broke.

CNBC Coffin dodger says what?

CNBC Who are these federal workers with zero savings and zero credit, and whose fault is it if they don’t have either one?

CNBC Out-of-touch billionaire-completely out of touch

CNBC That’s because he doesn’t understand the average American household.

CNBC Really? How dense is Sec Ross?

CNBC Damn genius...wake up? 😟😥😠!!!

CNBC Because they blew their money instead of saving it

CNBC They don’t know how to manage their money if they’re homeless missing one paycheck

CNBC Homeless shelters is a stretch.

CNBC this is the quint essential problem with the GOP ! TrumpSwamp

CNBC

CNBC What world does he live on.

CNBC ARE THEY REALLY THAT CLUELESS.

CNBC A little out of touch are we?

CNBC This is why you don't let oligarchs run a government. They can't relate to you and your struggle.

CNBC Hence why we need term limits!!!

CNBC this entire shutdown is divert attention away from the Russian investigation and crooked realDonaldTrump dealings with Putin and company. Stay focused on Russia.

CNBC Maybe this will help

CNBC So much privilege, old white guy, tone deaf, out of touch and elitist. WhitePrivilege Oldies

CNBC If only he had one percent of a clue

CNBC he should just step down ... seriously ... this is disgusting that he would even say such a think.

CNBC Duh

CNBC Out of touch!!

CNBC Agree...to a certain extend. It’s alarming none of these workers have emergency savings? Shutdown is unfortunate and workers r pawns but emergency savings cld alleviate this unexpected situation. Plus congress needs to give up their paychks!

CNBC Because he is clueless how these people live their lives and they don't give a shit either. Tonedeaf

CNBC So he is suggesting going into debt for food instead of temporarily accepting charity when Trump is threatening to shut down the government for months?

CNBC Because u and this other guy don't understand average Americans

CNBC If I worked for Fed govt I would not go to a foodbank. I would be living off credit cards but either way it’s not right. Govt should pay the interest.

CNBC Duh.

CNBC is this real or FakeNews. So let me see, us government employees, do not worried about being laid off, get hardship waivers to not work and can collect unemployment. They got it terrible

CNBC Where are the bleeding heart Liberal celebrities donating their money to help out?

CNBC This administration is so tone deaf & out of touch with American people & that starts at the top with realDonaldTrump. Just a side note, if someone with security clearance is gets a derogatory mark on their credit report, they could lose their clearance & impact their job.

CNBC “Donald Trump and his administration represent us, they identify with us, they feel our pain.” Said the ten-toothed rubes who voted for and still support him & the Republican Party.

CNBC Wilber says take a loan, add more debt, but why are they going to food pantries? Hmmm!!!! WILBER ROSS IS THE WALKING DEAD!

CNBC How about a sweet deal for banks or any financial institution who advances a weekly or bi-weekly line of credit to substitute payroll for federal workers until the government reopens. Do Something To Help Them! Becaues You Haven't Done Anything Up To This Point & You Can Help.

CNBC You're out of touch, I'm out of time.

CNBC Talk about clueless.

CNBC He probably says, “poor people problems” the way the majority of Americans say, “rich people problems.”

CNBC Coz millionaires didn’t know there were people who work paycheck to paycheck. That’s why we don’t need to make politicians millionaires.

CNBC Out of touch. Short term loans? Yea right.

CNBC This Dude....

CNBC Another rich bastard following party line. Hope people never forget when they are in line to vote

CNBC They should learn to code. That's what the Democrats told unemployed coal workers.
