"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.
