Can we get real here? There's no evidence that the GOP base cares about deficits or excess spending per se. The Tea Party wasn't a rebellion against deficits — it was a rebellion against spending to help poor people and minority groups 1/ https://t.co/MTR23FL2HF — PolitiTweet.org

Right now CBO is projecting deficits for 2020 close to WWII levels as a share of GDP — and long-term interest rates are close to a record low. The best way to think about all of this is that it's about finding excuses not to help Those People and to punish blue states 3/ — PolitiTweet.org
