        To GOP, deficits for 1% tax cuts, wars, military hardware & Trump junkets are good. Deficits for healthcare, education & veterans are bad

        Everytime Republicans gain control of federal gov't, they scream "deficits no longer matter", then begin maniacally bankrupting the gov't.

        They only care when the President is a Democrat. Otherwise, they don't give a damn.

        Rs care about deficits when Ds are Pres. Rs blow up deficits when they're in power to have an excuse to eliminate *entitlements*.

        When the media starts telling the truth about the deficit, Republicans tax cuts are responsible for 90% of it.

        What exactly do Senate and House Republicans care about? Nothing aside from retention of power. Certainly not any aspect of governing.
