By golly, it's almost as if nobody propped in front of the Fox News cameras gives a flying damn about the deficit and it's all just a cheap show, every single damn time.
BOLLING: And senior adviser Steve Bannon who's spent many many years on Wall Street, went to Harvard, very, very smart guy. He said, he makes a very good point. If you're going to borrow, if you're going to deficit spend, it's borrowing. Do it when the interest rates are low like they are right now, and there's a lot of indication interest rates may be rising soon. [...]
GUTFELD: But if Obama had done that we would have crucified him.
WILLIAMS: But that's the point, right, Greg, is that Obama -- the policy here remains somewhat the same, but the messenger does make a difference, and that's the sad truth. [...]
GUTFELD: But his spending, remember, we were going to shut down the government over spending.
Watching Fox News panels discuss, well, anything is like watching individual neurons fire in a human brain. By God, you know that after a few hundred thousand of the things go off we might just be on the verge of a coherent thought, but it always seems to peter out after the first, oh, five or so:
Deficit spending is a good way to boost the economy, especially when interest rates are low!
Which is exactly what every non-conservative economist has been screaming for decades!
Which is what the Obama Administration, faced with a cratering economy, quickly proposed!
Which Fox News had an epic and monumental shitstorm over because partisan conservatives said don't do it, it will make us sad and our children’s children will live in caves and envy the dead!
But now the White House top enabler of white nationalism said it too, so if some craven conservative shit with a crooked website says it it's smart again and we like it! Go team!
But that makes us total tools, bumbling morons whose only televised skill is bleating out that things are good when any conservative says them and very, very bad when non-conservatives or actual issue experts say the exact same things! The cognitive dissonance is beginning to creep up on us and I have a funny feeling in my tum-tum! Help, I’m starting to taste colors!
Hey, but on the other hand, repeating garbage we don't actually believe just won us an election! Pass the cocaine, Bolling, we've got a whole new administration to sell!
