And yes, he's a Republican... I guess the trumpanzees will start calling him a traitor...

WASHINGTON ? Citing the Bible and expressing his sympathies in advance, Republican South Carolina Rep. Mark Sanford savaged President Donald Trump's budget proposal Wednesday as a "myth" and a "lie," hammering the White House's spending plan more thoroughly than any Democrat.

The South Carolinian, who describes himself as a budget hawk, went on to lay out all the ways that using a bogus estimate is terrible.

"What it does is it perpetuates a myth that we can go out there and balance the budget without touching entitlements," Sanford said. "It's not only a myth, it's frankly a lie."

Sanford offered some basic history to challenge Mulvaney's assumptions. For starters, he noted that the average economic expansion in all U.S. history lasts about 58 months. The current expansion begun under President Barack Obama has been underway for 94 months. The Trump budget, Sanford noted, assumes that will continue uninterrupted for an additional 214 months.

"This budget presumes a Goldilocks economy, and I think that's a very difficult thing on which to base a budget," Sanford said. He also noted that the Bible cautions against building a house on sand.
