Republicans are ready to remember they hate the deficit again under Joe Biden
GOP deficit hawks hobbled the recovery from the Great Recession, dragging down an entire generation. And they're ready to do it all again if Biden wins.

A decade ago, a generation of Republicans swept into office on the heels of the Great Recession, preaching austerity over bolstering state budgets or extending unemployment benefits, hoping to pin the slow crawl toward recovery on Democrats. And they now seem poised do it all over again, potentially leaving Americans even further in the dust.
We saw the groundwork for that shift being laid last week when a GOP strategist told Bloomberg News that Republican senators are using the price tag for more coronavirus relief — which would include things like extended unemployment benefits and funding for small businesses — to prepare voters for a game plan during a Biden administration. In other words, "it would be very hard politically to agree on spending trillions more now and then in January suddenly embrace fiscal restraint." That tracks with Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell's insistence that more stimulus spending is something to "sell" to his members, as well as leaked audio of Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska slamming Trump for "spending like a drunken sailor."

to override their BS and support whatever Biden and crew deems necessary to help people get through and then recover from this Trump and enabling REPUBLICAN disaster and to get rid of the flaws that helped them work the system like they have.
I'm truly hoping (but not holding my breath) that a HUGE landslide majority of Americans have finally woken up to the GOP con that's been going on and will vote these slimy lying bits of swamp scum OUT and keep them out of any real power for good. We need a blue tsunami to wash away the stench those GOP the lying scum have left for too damn long. 
Democrats need to call them on it at every.single.opportunity. NO MORE PLAYING nice all the time.
