THE DAILY QUOTE
“The Republican Party has largely abandoned its platform of fiscal restraint, pivoting sharply in a way that could add trillions of dollars in federal debt over the next decade…. ‘I felt there was a period, two or three years ago, when there was a real seriousness about trying to solve our fiscal issues,’ said Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), a longtime deficit hawk who is part of a scarce group of Republicans consistently preaching restraint. ‘When the election result turned out what it was [in November], any thought of fiscal responsibility has gone out the window.’ He added, ‘It’s very disheartening to me that when the other side of the aisle was in charge we cared about fiscal issues, and now that we’re in charge we don’t care about fiscal issues. It’s very disheartening.’”
