He spoke the truth: America is addicted to borrowed money, the country is living beyond its means. Both Republicans and Democrats are guilty.

Both parties want to spend us into oblivion. The GOP just wants to do it a little bit slower. I thought this was understood and common knowledge for the past 30yrs?

Way out of context. He’s talked about this a lot and he is very aware.

Rush is pretty consistent about saying the Republicans are not really fiscal conservatives

He is a pretty astute analyst of politics. There is no party running on fiscal sanity.

You make it sound like he's part of the GOP. He's not admitting to fraud, he's accusing.

Rightwingers like Limbaugh (if not all of them) know deficit hysteria is completely fraudulent. Government's deficit is everyone else's surplus. If US govt ran balanced budgets all through it's existence then US economy would be much,much smaller.

It is “everyone else’s surplus” until the bill comes due, then where does the money come from? When the Social Security/public pension bomb hits I suspect we’ll find out it won’t be coming from anywhere.

only Republican president in last 40+ years who cared about the deficit and took steps to control it was Bush 41 ... and conservatives hated him for it

this is the best part of his rise, the exposition of previous sophistry as a byproduct of their new loyalty.

Anyone who understands economics knows that it's all about framing. A "federal deficit" = "public surplus" as money supply builds. The issue is that taxation is a tool used to reduce money supply, and the current policies don't tax corps and elites nearly as much as they should.

Same can be said about democrats and any anti-war principles or free speech principles. All of politics is theater.

Well obviously, actions speak louder than words and it's been plain as day for anyone who watches what the Republicans vote for.

I might be close to devil's advocate here, but you could oppose pork barrel spending on the grounds of being related to cronyism and corruption, rather than an imperative to cut government spending for its own sake.

The GOP has done about as much to fix the deficit in the last 30 years as the Democrats have done for black people

The economy will continue to grow, grow, and grow. The debt will shrink, shrink, and shrink. My bad the debt will grow larger too. This was from a dream I had...
