During a segment on Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson for undermining the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) while defending President Trump's spending plan. Scarborough invoked a lesson from The Simpsons, stating that Johnson's attacks on the CBO are a sign of desperation. He pointed out that during the Trump administration, deficits and debt reached unprecedented levels, countering Johnson's assertion that the CBO's projections are unreliable due to supposed political biases. Scarborough emphasized the damaging impacts of Republican budgeting during that time.
Mike Johnson has been there while the deficit has exploded at record rates. Attacking the CBO is always the last refuge of the big spending Republican.
It's run by Democrats. 84% of the number crunchers over there are donors to Democrats. They don't have our best interests in mind.
