Yes, there is something more hypocritical...Defending a multi-trillion dollar federal budget.If you want to be hawkish on the deficit, there is nothing more hypocritical than defending these tax cuts. It's that simple.
Deficits are a product of profligate spending, not of failure to shake down the hoi polloy sufficiently.
Who's defending the federal budget?
So you're agreeing that you are hypocritical, just not the most hypocritical you could be?
I should have worded it something to the effect that it's extremely hypocritical, not that there is nothing more hypocritical. Does that make you feel better?
Hmmm....
What came first...
Legislation that increased spending by hundreds of billions?
Or...
Legislation to increase taxes.
We are saying "maybe if you did not spend a half a trillion dollars here and a half a trillion there we would not need to increase taxes."
