Morning Joe crushes Republican party on its record-setting spending

2 min read

Republicans have spent decades arguing that federal spending was out of control. On Wednesday, however, MS NOW host Joe Scarborough shared a report showing that the GOP continues to blow through taxpayer dollars, putting more and more on the nation's credit card.

Scarborough shared a Reuters report showing the U.S. hit a new monthly record for spending at $145 billion.

"The Republican Congress and President Clinton ran a budget surplus for four straight years," the host wrote on X, recalling his years in Congress.

"In Dec ‘25, Republicans broke the record for running a $145 billion deficit in ONE MONTH. The U.S. didn’t run a YEARLY deficit that high for its first 200 years," he noted.

For the first time ever, the national debt passed the $36 trillion threshold in November.

A report from Investopedia found that since 1913, Republican presidents added more to the deficit than Democratic presidents.

Trump's White House said it cut the budget deficit by $41 billion by the end of fiscal year 2025.

When campaigning for office in 2024, top Trump donor and campaigner Elon Musk said he would cut the federal budget by $2 trillion by 2026. As of April 2025, he was more than $1.8 trillion off from his goal, The CATO Institute calculated.

It is part of the Donald Trump administration’s efforts to provide clarity in the US cryptocurrency ecosystem, which many crypto supporters consider a necessity for the digital asset industry. Despite the ongoing process, some crypto users are unsatisfied with how the US government is handling the issue, particularly the level of bureaucracy involved in creating a lasting cryptocurrency regulatory framework. One such user criticized the process, describing it as a “masterclass in bureaucratic foot-dragging.” According to the critic, America is losing ground to nations already leading in blockchain innovation.
