> Why is THIS Congress assuming an EXTRA $9 TRILLION in debt for the next number of years?

Shush, you’re not supposed to care about that. Now that we will have a unified GOP government, fiscal conservatives are no longer wanted.

When profligacy breaks the coalition that has been winning elections for the GOP, it will be your fault for not going along to get along.

That’s the dirty little not-so-secret of DC: Republicans are just as drunk on spending as Dems. Hence, more trillions in debt to come.

A lot of these guys are joyful because they see it as their chance to spend, not to reduce the size of government.

It remains to be seen whether Trump makes the connection that the solution to a lot of the domestic problems he cares about is to slash government and devolve more power to the states - and, even if he does, whether the pigs at the trough in Congress will go along.
