After watching the Raygun, Shrub Bush and now tRumps's economic packages, I'm firmly convinced this is the GOP's planned and executed cycle:
1. Lie and buy your way into power.
2. Cut taxes for the wealthy and corporations, thereby starving the government of revenue.
3. Spend you ass off to increase deficits, with military spending and/or a new war being the easiest "patriotic" recipients.
4. Along the way, deregulate and privatize everything possible.
5. Wash, rinse, and repeat until the government is essentially dead and plutocracy reigns.
PS: Take a break every 10 years or so. Democrats will win every few cycles, so the GOP can project and blame them for all the failures.

This is the grand plan that's being funded by corporate profits that we gave them from our purchases of goods and services over many years.
We must permanently stop this cycle or it will destroy us. GOTV.
