White House's Mulvaney acknowledges GOP's deficit hypocrisy
It doesn't happen often, but every once in a while, a prominent Republican will acknowledge that the GOP only seems to care about the deficit when there's a Democrat in the Oval Office. For example, the Washington Post obtained an audio recording of acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney making just such a concession yesterday.
Quote:"My party is very interested in deficits when there is a Democrat in the White House. The worst thing in the whole world is deficits when Barack Obama was the president. Then Donald Trump became president, and we're a lot less interested as a party," Mulvaney said at the Oxford Union to a group of several hundred people.

Again, as Cheney said to Bush's Treas Sec, "Reagan taught us that deficits don't matter". That is, when Republicans hold power. Otherwise it's a holocaust.
To put that another way, these people just lie through their ******* teeth.
