Well, if the repulicans control the predidency, senate,house, supreme court, etc., WHY can't they cut government spending and downsize the government?
Because they don't want too.
The reason the Republicans have dominance in government now is that Republicans today are what Dems were in the 60s. If the Repubs hadn't drifted leftward as the Dems did, there's be a strong centrist party now. As it is, there
is a centrist party - the Republican party. And you are completely correct: why can't government be reduced and spending cut?
It's because they don't want to." And guess else doesn't want to?
The majority of American voters. Otherwise, they'd vote Republicans out of office.
I know it's frustrating, but at least the centrist Republican party today embraces family and fairly traditional morality, unlike the leftist DemocRat party, and that means a more moderate federal bench, hopefully.
