According to Limbaugh Deficits don't matter

[rpannier]

From his show
"Nobody is a fiscal conservative anymore. All this talk about concern for the deficit and the budget has been bogus for as long as it’s been around."

1. Unless it's a democrats

5. you're so correct

then those shit-heads will use 'deficits are bad' as the basis for not doing anything.

How 'bout we cut our military industrial complex's 700 billion A YEAR budget and/or spend some of that money on our own people rather than imperial militarism around the world?

3. Except for social spending.

That causes the GOP to worry about spending.

4. Chris Hayes was trying to make that point last night.

Mark Sanford, former Republican governor of SC, who is considering a GOP challenge to Trump was arguing for focusing his campaign on spending cuts.

I didn't realize what a total Bozo this guy was. Chris Hayes went on about how every GOP president since Reagan ran up deficits via reckless tax cuts, big military spending and corporate welfare. Hayes pointed out that it has been Democratic presidents who have consistently reduced spending while GOP presidents have increased spending. Sanford did not have a response to this. He looked like someone told him this for the first time.

Even worse he did not have a response to Trumps racist screeds over the last several days. He had this deer in the headlights look when Hayes pressed him on it. Hayes had to work hard to pull a response out of Sanford. And he is going to challenge Trump? What an A$$.

It's obvious from Limbaugh that deficits don't matter anymore. It was all a fraud so were the dogwhistles, they don't matter anymore, now it's straight up racism. Sanford will probably not register a blip on the screen

6. Sanford really does need to hike the AT

and not just use that as a diversion for a hook-up with his mistress.

Dude is clueless, but there are so many clueless folks in SC that easily fall prey to charlatans like him and Nikki Haley

7. Well, he's actually not wrong on this.

These days it's all about profit, profit, profit, and they equate how much profit you have and how many zeroes are on your paycheck to a penis measuring contest.

8. They never do when Repubs are in charge...

9. As I recall, only the Republicans made it a big deal anyway.

Especially when Democrats are in power.

10. Well Lookie Here!

Rush was talking about deficits when Obama was in office: https://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2019/07/16/after-bashing-obama-deficits-years-rush-limbaugh-now-says-budget-deficits-never-mattered/224236

11. Prepare for a fight on cutting entitlements - that has been the GOP's never ending plan. Run up the

deficit and then cry fiscal responsibility when out of power.
