It’s a way for us to see the infamous “Starve the Beast” in action. The GOP have spent decades strangling tax revenue, racking up debts they never had any intention of paying down. Now that we’re reaching the tipping point, they want to use public concern over said debt to kill off the social safety net. They never could get votes to do away with Social Security and Medicare if they just flat-out said they disagreed with them ideologically, but create a “situation” where the decision is economic disaster or dismantling said programs bit by bit, and it becomes an easier sell.
