Run with it!That's not the point.What happens under a President's "watch" is their responsibility. If partisans want to play that game for their advantage, they have to take the bad with the good. Or they're just blatant hypocrites.So if this bill passes, I don't want to hear you libs stating that the out of control spending is all Trump's fault.
Here's an easy fix for the GOP: No tax cuts until spending cuts are in place. Have your candidates run on gutting Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid and a few dozen departments. Let's see if they win. If they do, make those cuts first, THEN cut taxes.
Until then, the "party of fiscal responsibility" is a fraud, playing bait and switch. And their flock is swallowing it.
Easy fix there.

Really? So what do you suggest cutting that the Democrats would agree with besides the military?
If you're so sure that making the cuts I mentioned will get Republicans elected in droves, you won't have to worry about the Democrats. You'll win big!
The GOP is either "the party of fiscal responsibility", or it's a bunch of economic hypocrites.
It's time to shit or get off the pot.

I go back to a scenario Dr Walter Williams created years ago.
"I am going to run for a federal elected office. My platform will be I will bring nothing home to my state. In fact, I will vote against any spending bill. Would you vote for me?"
Cut spending first. THEN cut taxes.
