“He seems to have found religion — now that he’s back out of the government”

A debate over the GOP’s stance on the national deficit played out in real time on Fox News Friday as host Chris Wallace called out former White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow over his criticism of President Biden’s $1.9 trillion relief package.

Kudlow had torn into Biden’s legislation, warning it would “kill the economy” over what he said would be an inevitable rise in the national deficit.

“Larry Kudlow, when he was working in the Trump White House and passing huge tax cuts and huge spending plans — including multi-trillion-dollar bills for COVID relief — there wasn’t so much concern about deficit and debt,” Wallace said Friday. “He seems to have found religion — now that he’s back out of the government.”
