defunding it so that the self fulfilling prophecy comes true and they can be a Santa by giving tax cuts for the programs they defund.
This is giving them slightly too much credit. They don’t even shrink the government and pass the savings back to the American people. They continually grow the government, just like Democrats, however they have no mechanism to fund it because they also always support tax cuts. That’s why the deficit and the debt tend to grow even larger under their governance. That’s the two santas: government freebies and tax cuts both. Billions for defense contractors while we’re also giving Mr Private Jet a tax write-off.
