Republican politicians are normal people. They love to spend other people’s money, just like democrats. Who does not?
They need to announce to the public they’re going to pass a balanced budget and then make the cuts to make it happen - it would be a huge winner with the public just like when Newt did it in the 90s. Cutting fraud and waste to balance the budget. The public would eat it up. But the dummy republican party can’t get anything right.
