In reality:
- Persecuting brown people, and breaking the system to make legal immigration impossible
- Only applicable to things that help the poors, not applicable to billion-dollar military boondoggles or handouts for corpos
- Legalize union busting and selling sawdust as food
My point is that the right doesn’t care about actually reducing the deficit, they make noises about it when a Democrat is in office but the second they get power it magically disappears. It’s just an excuse to be awful.
Remember Trump’s big tax bill? 10 TRILLION in extra debt, mostly to cut taxes for the rich. What did he cut? A few million worth of stuff that actually helps people.
