A serious case of fiscal amnesia may soon be sweeping the GOP.
For eight years, Republicans hammered President Barack Obama for exploding the national debt. But now a GOP-led spending spree is coming, with Donald Trump riding to the White House on trillion-dollar promises and a Republican Congress that looks likely to do his bidding. It’s a potential echo of the last time Republicans ran Washington, when then-Vice President Dick Cheney memorably remarked, “Deficits don’t matter.”
Trump campaigned heartily on a spending splurge and nothing he’s said since his shocking election suggests he will reverse course.
