(CNSNews.com) – Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) said the debt and deficit are national  priorities, but to keep in mind that “we have seen very serious dropping of our deficit over the past year.”

“First of all, you’re not going to find any Democrats up here saying the debt and deficit is not a priority,” Ellison said Tuesday during a press conference on Capitol Hill.  “Of course it’s a priority.”

“But you cannot pursue all priorities at once,” he said.  “That’s what makes them priorities. The top priority needs to be jobs.”

“But let’s bear in mind and never forget that we have seen very serious dropping of our deficit over the past year,” Ellison added.  “We’re making progress on that front.”
