Are you sure that is just not republicans and the right wing news being themselves. I swear the only times I hear about budget from them is if a democrat president is in charge.

It's called the Two Santas Strategy and it's by design.

People ARE idiots who DO fall for it. They don't look at the data, they listen to the sound bites, and their current idol spewing lies. They don't care about cause and effect, they care about if they win (even if they can't see when they're really losing, because they never actually lose, it's stolen from them by those who the idol tells them is to blame for all their woes).

No kidding. Enter the people who are feeling the pain and all they have to say is “they’re hurting the wrong people!”

FFS. Beyond hope.
