Rush Limbaugh schools one of his callers: “Nobody is a fiscal conservative anymore”

CALLER: Republicans can nominate a young, potentially two-term president, one that believes in fiscal conservatism. We’re gonna have – in 2019, there’s gonna be a $1 trillion dollar deficit. Trump doesn’t really care about that. He’s not really a fiscal conservative. We don’t, we have to acknowledge that Trump has been cruelly used.

RIGHT WING TALK SHOW HOST RUSH LIMBAUGH: Nobody is a fiscal conservative anymore. All this talk about concern for the deficit and the budget has been bogus for as long as it’s been around.

Via Media Matters, this is a snippet of everyone’s favorite bloviating, raging right wing radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, shamelessly renouncing his previous position about deficit spending on his program.
