Right on cue, Lindsey Graham wants to talk about the deficit.

[fleur-de-lisa]

Chris Cioffi @ReporterCioffi

Senate committee talk from Graham: "If we keep the Senate which I think we will and I become Budget chairman. I'd like to create a dialogue about how can we finally begin to address the debt. You'll see from me a reliable conservative, vote. You'll see from me, stopping an agenda I think is bad for the country but you'll also see me trying to find common ground that would benefit all of us and a good place to start, I think, would be the debt and infrastructure and immigration."

1. Cut all funding for the wall !!! There done !

[madaboutharry]

2. I really can't stand this asshole.

Deficits only matter when a Democrat is President.

I am sick and tired of these transparent hypocrites.

[soothsayer]

6. Same

[ananda]

3. This is code talk ..

for ending social programs and entitlements
in favor of business and the military.

Uggghhhh

[flibbitygiblets]

4. Sure Lindsey let's talk about your deficit of principles

And your master’s deficit of VOTES

[tavernier]

19. And your reliability to truth.

Junk bond is your word, mr. g

[Blasphemer]

5. Let's talk about what you did with Clinton's surplus first... nt

[idziak4ever1234]

7. The 48 GOP Senators are tied for the Worst Person in the World.

[BKDem]

8. I can start the dialogue...

This is *your* goddamn party's deficit, Lindsay, you little prick. Sit down and sit your fucking mouth. After the January runoff elections, when Demorats take control of the Senate, you and Mitch and your little buddies can eat shit and die.

[PatSeg]

9. Good lord

These people really need to get a new playbook. Same old routines over and over again.

[58Sunliner]

10. I guess his mouth is empty now.

[Volaris]

25. Hahahahhaa... you win the thread and I nominate this for a DUZY!

[Me.]

11. Reverse The Tax Cuts

and put in place regulations that require all, especially corporations, to pay their fair share of taxes and the debt will magically disappear. Easy peasy Lindsey.

[Turin_C3PO]

15. Exactly!

They don’t really give a shit about the debt or deficit. They just want to hamstring Biden.

[roamer65]

12. Increase taxes on those making more than $400k first.

[roamer65]

13. Ossoff and Warnock need to start attacking Moscow Mitch and LadyG.

[stillcool]

18. that will win them...

an election in Georgia? People in Kentucky and South Carolina re-elect them over and over. Why would that affect how Georgia votes?

[roamer65]

20. Give President Biden the majority he needs to make change.

Stop Moscow Mitch obstruction.

Ossoff has already said it in a fundraising email to me.

[stillcool]

24. Singling out Mitch and Lindsey

makes no sense to me, well Mitch does, but only in the context of control of the Senate. I guess that's why I'm not running for anything.

[Leghorn21]

14. Fuck the fuck off, Linds

SERIOUSLY

[NHDEMFORLIFE]

16. Republicans run up debts, then whine about them

That will never change.

[Cartoonist]

17. What I'm hoping to see.

Since we all know how Trump is loyal to his friends (pause for laughter), maybe he'll release what he has on Graham.

[LuvNewcastle]

21. It's always time for austerity after they go and

spend money like drunken sailors, giving relief to the wealthy. Just like the libertine who goes on a diet after the orgy. The thing I am most in awe of regarding Republicans is their gall. Democrats are generally too self-conscious to be so hypocritical, but I think maybe the Democrats should take a lesson, or at least they could call out Republicans when they do what Lindsey is doing now.

[gratuitous]

22. I have an idea about that, Senator

How about we raise taxes on the wealthy, and get them paying their fair share to support this society that has been so good to them? We've gone so heavily into debt because we've funneled so much of the Treasury into the overstuffed pockets of the wealthy. Let's reverse that money flow and invest in the country instead of greedy motherfuckers who will never get enough.
