"Starve The Beast" has been the GOP's plan.
BTW, Trump tripled Obama's defiits back to $1.5 trillion a year and added more debt than any president in U.S. history. This in the middle of the economy Obama rescued with no help from the GOP. The economy he's always suggesting was his own doing. His tax cuts did nothing but add more debt and increase deficits. It's elementary school-level math; reduce income and expect the bills will all be paid.
ALL the Bush and Trump tax cuts did is create massive debt and systemic deficits.
Tax cuts are never responsible for any debt. Spending is the problem and always has been.

That's one of the most ridiculous statements anyone could make.
Why don't you slash your income and tell us how paying your bills goes.
BTW, Bush and Republicans DOUBLED our annual spending all by themselves. Then, they slashed our income.
WTF did they think would happen. Oh, ya, Dick Cheney said "Ronald Reagan proved deficits don't matter" and they set about going from 2 years of surpluses under Clinton to a $1.5 trillion annual deficit and left us with systemic deficits from then on.
Obama slashed the annual deficit by 2/3rd to $500. Trump & the GOP left us with $1.5 trillion annual deficits again
