Remember when Republicans claimed to care about budget deficits?
And I’m not really going all fiscal hawk on you here. But if the government isn’t going to put something away when unemployment is 3.5%, then it’s not going to have the room to provide fiscal help when the economy next hits a rough patch.
I don’t know the right stance for fiscal policy, but I do know that if you thought we were overspending back in 2012 when unemployment was much higher and government debt was a fair bit lower, then you really can’t be cheerleading current Republican fiscal policy.
