Right-wing media is trying, though. Rush Limbaugh and others have tried the Dick Cheney refrain that “deficits don’t matter.” But Laura Ingraham tried to appear “balanced” against Trump on Monday night by chiding him for the deficit with guest Lindsey Graham.
“What is going on with this budget bill?” asked Ingraham, “You know, I had to hit the president on this.” “It’s okay,” said Lindsey.
Graham then insisted that the Pentagon was destroyed under Obama and that Trump has had to rebuild it. And then he says the quiet parts out loud:
“We’ve gotta fix entitlements. We’re in debt because we made promises we can’t keep to Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid.”
