Trump Signs Massive Spending Bill, Vows "Never Again," Base Revolts

1. Oh, gimme a break

They grumbled when Reagan cracked the deficit wide open

When Cheney (dba Bush II) exploded the budget deficit, even Richard Viguerie wrote a scathing book entitled "Conservatives Betrayed." And every time they made some noise, and then shut up. After all, their Grand Poo Bah said "deficits don't matter," and if Fox Noise doesn't say he's wrong, then he obviously can't be wrong.

Yeah, the so-called "conservatives" and "fiscally responsible" Republicans will make all the noises, but they don't give a rat's ass. Every time they get into power, they spend their fool asses off, drive the deficit higher than the asteroid belt, and their rank and file makes as much noise as an asthmatic trombone player attempting a Sousa march. And then it's forgotten until a Democrat gets in, tries some real damage control (e.g. Obama's stimulus, which WORKED, btw), and then it's battle stations.
