Every single time they use words like "fiscal responsibility" or panic monger about the national debt, it always means cuts to government services that average or poor people depend on. It never means cuts to military spending or anything else oriented toward pumping up the stock market.

No one in the media even bothers to quantify why the size of the current national debt is problematic and why more spending would be bad. The real waste is in all the economic rent paid by the government and average people to the oligarch class.
