On Thursday’s Special Report, Charles Krauthammer said Republicans in Congress should not entertain the budget they’re about to see released by “the biggest deficit-increaser in the history of the galaxy.” Instead, Krauthammer explained, the GOP should pass a budget that only relieves defense-spending cuts, forcing the president either to sign or veto it.
“The [president’s] budget is going to be dead on arrival, so when it arrives you toss it in the wastebasket,” Krauthammer said. Relieving the entire sequester, as the president plans to request, for the sake of higher defense spending “is something I think Republicans ought not acquiesce to,” he said.
On the issue of the debt and the deficit, Krauthammer said, the president was prematurely celebrating victory where he had hardly accomplished anything.
