Certainly, the GOP attitude toward deficits is nothing new.
That's despite the AP, the Bezos Post and the Houston Chronicle, among other outlets, claiming the GOP acceptance of wall-to-wall deficits is a historic sea change.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Presidentially, with the exception of the brief interlude of Poppy Bush, GOP presidents haven't cared about deficits since Nixon. After all, Veep Dick Cheney said they don't matter.
In Congress, the Senate had its deficit hawks under Reagan, and Shrub Bush, but some had left the Senate and others gone mute by the time of Shrub Bush.
And, the variations of unsubstantiated supply-side economics get new makeup on their lips every couple of years and that's that.
So, MSM?
Just stop trying to normalize the national Republican Party.
