Scarborough: GOP Only Cares About The Debt When Democrats Control The White House

This morning, Joe Scarborough and Heidi Przybyla gamed out the chances of the Republican tax bill passing this year.

"I forgot Bob Corker, who told us before this even started being debated he would have a hard time supporting this tax reform bill because, again, what it would do to the national debt," Scarborough said.

"I talked with a vulnerable Democrat who originally had been courted by this White House and now said no way, basically, because we're at a point right now -- and I think this is also potentially how Bob Corker is feeling, how folks like Jeff Flake may be feeling," Przybyla said.

"At what point does the debt itself crash the economy? At what point does the debt itself -- when you're talking about long-term projections here, if nothing is done and Congress didn't change this, becoming 100% of GDP itself, crash the economy?

Finally someone in the MSM noticed that the GOP is totally in charge and all of a sudden having a large deficit does not matter.

Dems don't do a good job of REMINDING the public of WHO drives up all these deficits and of who continually blows holes in these budgets. Dems can't message either: "A Better Deal?" Really?



thuglicans KNOW how to LIE and stay on message and blame Dems for their malfeasance
