"deficits don't matter"

.
Bob Beckel says the deficit is no big deal.

"I mean, when you get up in the morning, today. Across America. Seriously. What is it about a $14 trillion deficit that bothered you today?" Beckel asked.(added at noon same day - note that the man is on television talking about it and they conflate the debt and deficit)

He thinks the view should be - me,me,me--now,now,now

He believes that if you can't see the negative results of the debt RIGHT NOW then it is not important. Among other things he says - literally - "forget about your children and grandchildren".
