No mention of the deficit here.
"TRADE DEFICIT" is mentioned in the caption, but no mention of deficits in the actual article.
The TRADE DEFICIT is not the same thing as the FEDERAL DEFICIT, but the TRADE DEFICIT is also at a record high!!

Didn't Conservatives staple teabags to their faces because of this very thing?

Rand Paul voted for the Russia Tax Cut.
The post asked for a link about a right-winger railing against the Trump's deficits. That is what Paul is doing:
"Paul, known for his libertarian leanings, said the budget deal breaks past Republican pledges to rein in federal spending.
After GOP leaders refused to allow Paul to offer an amendment, he chose to use a Senate rule that allows individual senators to slow down proceedings that require the consent of all.
“I can’t in all good honesty, in all good faith, just look the other way because my party is now complicit in the deficits,” he said on the Senate floor."
"Deficit" was mentioned just one time in this article, in this context:
Erickson and others expected at the conference agree, but insist that a number of emerging issues over trade policy and tariffs, healthcare policy, internet privacy and access and growing federal deficits — even energy policies —are all ripe for discussion.
So what we have here is Flash spamming the board with links to try and distract from the fact that Conservatives have said nothing about the massive deficits their tax cuts and poor policy have caused.
Michael Steele hasn't held elected office in about a decade.
The post wanted a right-winger, not an elected official. You are ignoring the main issue.

He's railing against deficits while voting to increase them.
Doesn't that strike you as...problematic?

Michael Steele only cared about deficits 10 years ago, when he was head of the RNC.
He hasn't cared about them since.
Conservatives said over and over that their Russia Tax Cut would increase economic activity that would result in increased revenues.
Actual economic growth in 2018 was the same as it was in 2015, without a tax cut.
Conservatives are terrible at managing anything.
that was never the point. It was designed to increase the debt and then they could try and end Social Programs for those who need help. Social Security, Welfare, food stamps and other programs have been targeted by the right for decades.

When did Michael Steele rail about deficits?
NOT IN THE FUCKING ARTICLE YOU LINKED TO, MR. #WALKAWAY
This is the only mention of deficits in the entire piece:
After Republicans approved a sweeping tax bill in December, Steele reminded viewers of its cost, and noted deficits had once been a central concern for the GOP.
So he's not railing about deficits there, just pointing out that they had the opposite position on it.
Nice try, propagandist.

It referred to "growing federal deficits." How many times does it need to be mentioned to satisfy you? You ignore the fact that all of these posts were right-wingers criticizing the budget, deficit, and other Trump policies.
Now you are asking for something different than the original post requested. You always deflect from the main issue.

Exactly.
Fiscal Terrorism
Fly planes of tax cuts into the budget, posture over the resulting deficits, then use those deficits as the excuse to cut spending on social programs they oppose on a fundamental level, but lack the courage, will, and support to repeal through conventional legislation.
That is why we must #BURNTHELIFEBOATS.
Conservatism cannot and must not survive this decade.
It referred to "growing federal deficits"
"...ripe for discussion."
You left that part out.
So it's not railing about deficits, it's saying that the growing deficit is "ripe for discussion"
Language is not your friend.
How many times does it need to be mentioned to satisfy you?
I won't be convinced of the sincerity until Conservatives staple teabags back to their faces and scream at Donald Trump and other Republicans for increasing the deficit, just as they did to Democrats and Obama 10 years ago.
You ignore the fact that all of these posts were right-wingers criticizing the budget, deficit, and other Trump policies.
NOTHING YOU POSTED actually showed that.
And until all of you staple teabags to your faces and scream at Donald Trump and other Republicans, I won't believe your sincerity.
Now you are asking for something different than the original post requested. You always deflect from the main issue.
You didn't actually provide anything.
What you did was a lazy Google search, and you didn't even read the articles to which you linked!
Bad form.
Bad faith.

"After Republicans approved a sweeping tax bill in December, Steele reminded viewers of its cost, and noted deficits had once been a central concern for the GOP.
“I think I’ve earned the right to be critical of a party that lost its way,” Steele told The Baltimore Sun. “It’s become a dumbing down to the lowest common denominator."
This is a criticism of deficits. Just because he criticizes other policies does not negate his criticism of budget issues.
For some reason you are trying very hard to ignore conservative criticism of budget deficits. I list several links and your replies are but Paul voted for the tax cut (ignoring his criticisms), but the article only mentioned the deficit once, but Steele hasn't been an elected official in years (which has nothing to do with criticizing his party for deficits).
I would also refer you to conservative columnists who have written about this issue on several occasions:
"Trump's fantasy budget may cause us to face reality" Robert Samuelson
"...ripe for discussion."
You left that part out.
So it's not railing about deficits, it's saying that the growing deficit is "ripe for discussion"
Language is not your friend.
Why do you suppose the growing deficit is "ripe for discussion"? Maybe because it is something they are concerned about? Otherwise, they would not bother to mention it.
I won't be convinced of the sincerity until Conservatives staple teabags back to their faces and scream at Donald Trump and other Republicans for increasing the deficit, just as they did to Democrats and Obama 10 years ago.
You changed the entire subject of the discussion in which asked for links from right-wingers railing against the budget.
I was providing those links. Because that does not satisfy you has nothing to do with providing links showing conservative criticism of the deficit. You always change the topic to divert from the issue.
You didn't actually provide anything.
What you did was a lazy Google search, and you didn't even read the articles to which you linked!
Bad form.
Bad faith.
But it provided exactly what the poster asked for. With additional time I'm sure I can find many more conservatives critical of Trump, the deficit, the debt, tariffs, etc.
How many times the article mentioned "deficit" or how long it has been since the person has held public office are irrelevant and real stretches on your part to find something wrong with posts that provided exactly what the poster requested..
You didn't actually provide anything.

But they all voted for and supported the tax cut.
So this is fiscal terrorism; fly planes of tax cuts into the budget, then scream about the inevitable deficit caused by the tax cuts.
