Scott Jackson, before the great to have you on the program, sir, what's up?

I phone 10 mega did it.

Oh,

conservative like myself, rush.

I mean, we voted for Republicans hoping to roll back all this government spending.

And now I hear today the Congress, you know, Senate and the House,

they've come to this agreement.

Everybody's happy.

You know, and listen, I'm an 80 veteran.

I'm glad for more military spending, but this is going to add $300 billion to the deficit.

So my question rush is, how do we as conservatives kind of justify this?

You know, it's a great question.

And I was communicating with some friends before the program today on this.

And I was telling them I probably should not admit this because this, this,

it changes me day to day.

But I have to tell you this whole budget thing, I think I'm immune to it now.

I, I realized I've been caught up in this budget business for as long as I've been hosting this program.

And I realized a couple things.

Spending never decreases.

We never end up.

There's one time in 30 years where the budget was balanced in 1995 for one year.

90, I think, 95, 96 other than that, this is smoking mirrors.
