Joe Scarborough thinks the $3 trillion Iraq war that was accompanied by tax cuts didn't balloon the deficit more than the current healthcare bill. You know, the healthcare bill that's entirely paid for -- and will actually reduce the deficit.
Guest Joe Conason made the mistake of pointing this out, stirring Scarborough into one of his little freakouts. Of course he denied supporting the combination of wars and tax cuts, which, if you watched any cable news during that time, is total horseshit.
And logically this would mean that Republican Joe Scarborough was either against the Iraq war or in favor of a $3 trillion tax increase to pay for it. I seriously doubt either is true.
Adding... It's around 8:10 a.m. EST and Lawrence O'Donnell, along with Andrew Ross Sorkin, just trapped Scarborough into supporting a second stimulus/spending bill in order to create jobs. Ten months ago, Scarborough was accusing the president of being a socialist due to the first stimulus bill.
