Only one of your links actually had criticism over the deficit created by Conservative policy.
The others didn't.
So I don't know why you keep insisting something that simply isn't true.
Didn't Conservatives staple teabags to their faces because of this very thing?

Conservatives stapled teabags to their faces 10 years ago to posture over the deficit.
Then 8 years after that, they passed a massive tax cut that expanded the deficit.
14 months after passing that deficit-expanding tax cut are they now saying they are concerned over deficits.
But the deficit only exists because of tax cuts in the first place; tax cuts Conservatives have made orthodoxy.

Hey uber moron, you are evidently one of the only intellectual midgets in your sorry excuse for a party who thinks deficits are a bad thing: https://theweek.com/speedreads/8224...n-new-deal-by-essentially-printing-more-money
This is just one example. The problem lies in the congress, who holds the purse strings as they are so fond of reminding us. You leftards come up with some stupid expensive vote buying giveaway scheme, and spineless RINOs go along with it. Then you get that idiot obama in there who constantly told us that "America has to pay it's bills!, Don't shut down the government"
Do you have any solutions for this? If not, shut the fuck up. The tea party was against high taxes, that's it, they never "stapled tea bags to their faces" or any of that other stupid shit. You want to solve this shit? 1) SLOWLY wean people off these expensive government programs 2) SLOWLY lower taxation 3) Teach your children to be self sufficient
That's a start. Maybe in a few millennia, after we rediscover Atlantis and solve the riddle of travel at the speed of light, we can get the deficit down to a manageable level
I'm old enough to remember when you all stapled teabags to your face because of the deficit ten years ago.
Your idiots voted for a tax cut that created the largest monthly deficit ever, and has us on track for trillion-dollar deficits beginning this year.
10 years ago, the trillion-dollar deficits had you so worked up that you stapled teabags to your faces and screamed like barnyard animals about the deficit and debt.
Yes:
1. Repeal the Russia Tax Cut.
2. Ban the Republican Party.
3. Permanently attach MAGA hats to every Trump voter.
4. Eliminate the Senate.

wow. hard hitting.
LOL!
The teabags screamed about the deficit and debt all the time.
Washington’s out of control spending has led to over 19 trillion in national debt. [1] It is only fair and right to pay the debt we have incurred so our children and grandchildren are not stuck with our bills and so they too may pursue the American Dream as we have. If we do not get deficit spending under control, future generations will be living in a bankrupt nation where Washington continues to raise your taxes to fuel its out of control spending.

And yes, you all stapled teabags to your faces to prove you cared about the debt and deficit, but really you didn't care about either. You just wanted people to think you did so you could advance your awful ideas that are unpopular.
Would you prefer people staple tea bags to their face to show their concern with the deficit? None of that has anything to do with finding conservatives critical of the deficit.
Excessive spending are responsible for much of the debt. If you look at spending as a percentage of GDP and revenue as a percentage of GDP you will see spending has increased more rapidly than revenue. Mandatory spending (entitlements + interest) make up 70% of the budget.
Does this mean you are concerned about the debt and deficit?

I hope you're running for president. the world needs your genius and mature temperament.
Nah, let's just repeal your shitty tax cut instead.
You cut taxes on January 2nd, 2018 and the result was the deficit expanding by 80% the following year, with a 2% reduction in revenues from the year prior.
Your tax cuts expanded the deficit.
They didn't pay for themselves.
They never will.
By handing farmers a $12B bailout because you don't understand trade?
Where was all this concern about large deficits before Trump took office? Now you are yelling and screaming just like the tea bag people.
There was no deficit from 1998-2001, then you cut taxes and then set four record deficits in 8 years.
Then you stapled teabags to your faces and tried to convince everyone you secretly opposed those deficits your tax cuts created.
Nothing you say today is genuine.
Conservatives were never serious about the deficit and debt.
Conservatives love deficits and debt because it's the only excuse they can use to cut the spending they have no prayer of cutting through conventional legislation.
I don't understand why Conservatives did it ten years ago when we faced trillion-dollar deficits, but don't do it today when we face trillion-dollar deficits.
Maybe you can explain that, because my explanation doesn't seem to give you comfort.
The only time they were concerned over the deficit was when a Democrat was in the White House.
Their tax cut has created record deficits, and there is nary a teabag to be seen.
NOPE.
We had budget surpluses from 1998-2001, then we had record deficits.
What changed?
The Bush Tax Cuts.
We had a surplus as recently as 2001, then taxes were cut, then we got four record deficits in 8 years.
That's not from spending, it's from revenue reductions.
Nope.
We had budget surpluses from 1998-2001, then you cut taxes, then we had record deficits including the highest deficit of all time.
Nothing to do with spending there, only tax cuts.
Had you not cut taxes in 2001, the debt could have been paid off by 2010.
Revenue has been reduced by tax cuts.
2018 saw 2% fewer revenues than 2017.
Last month saw the highest federal monthly deficit of all time.
None of that is possible without the Russia Tax Cut.
Spending had nothing to do with it. It's all because of the tax cuts and the false promises made of the tax cuts.
Not sure why you want to blame anything other than the tax cuts. Seems to me that you just want bothsiderism because otherwise, you'd be forced off the pedestal you've put yourself on by being socialist with blame.
Weak sauce.
