The Funny and Bizarre World of Republican Spending and Debt, by Sen. Orin Hatch

Watch how Sen. Orin Hatch justifies, in his own down the rabbit hole way, why Republican spending and deficits aren't as bad as when Democrats do it. Remember, this is how Republican voters think as well.

Sen. Orin Hatch: Well, in those days, a lot of things weren’t paid for and that wasn’t right. I have to admit that. On the other hand, we were trying to solve a problem for millions of millions of Americans who were unable to get their drugs.

Andrea Mitchell: Well so are the supporters of expanding health care coverage.

Sen. Orin Hatch: Yeah, but there’s a difference between trying to help senior citizens, who really can’t afford drugs and doing something that effects every American in the United States of America and many people who don’t belong in the United States of America. And do it in a way that even the, even the actuaries of the current administration admit would be not only costly, but put us into tremendous debt. So there’s a real difference between two.

No there isn't, Mr. Hatch. Andrea Mitchell did not correct Hatch about the budget cutting reality of health care reform, discounting the "tremendous debt" Hatch said it would supposedly create.
