    Under Obama, the Congressional GOP and every conservative movement organ based their entire political/legislative strategy around supposed aversion to debt/deficits. Rand Paul is correct to point out that these same people haven't even *attempted* to rationalize the about-face.

        In a sense, the about-face could be seen as an accommodation to Trump, who largely spurned any concern for deficits during the campaign and didn't really proffer the conventional conservative critique of social spending. But it's mostly just cynicism and fakery.

        Republicans are clearly charlatans & I'm actually glad rand Paul is holding up the vote. That said, this endless conversation about debt ceilings, deficits etc is entirely right wing propaganda and it's really amazing how long this has been unchecked in political discussions

        Republicans did the same thing under bush & Reagan. They are all liars. None of them care about "fiscal responsibility"

        .@mtracey kinda weird though that we want them to rationalize prior positions that were incorrect. That would make Rand, at least, consistently wrong.

        The correct response is " see the federal deficit is actually the public sectors assets" so if the fed increases spending or decreases taxes that will result in a better economy. The truth is that Obama and republicans pulled a 2way con to trick progressives out of progress

        I think it’s time to get rid of election-based politicians and have it be part of civil service. Congress is beyond repair. There is maybe 10% of Congress with any integrity whatsoever.

        He also voted in favor of the tax bill so that pretty much makes him a hypocrite as well.

        Why should they? Playing by the rules has gotten us nowhere. Crush the left by any means. No rules. I assure you, outside the cities the desire to see every liberal sent to the camps is spreading.

        When it comes to spending, there's one party.... the kick backs spend tax payer money party which is all of them. I'm so sick of it. Rand Paul is right!

        Trump was a Democrat all his life, switched to independent, then stole the Republican Party. He’s counting on growth to cover a lot of the debt, which could very well happen.
