Wingnuts cry about government largesse and try to cut budgets, then cry about government failures when the budgets are cut.

This is why Bircherism, libertarianism, and capitalism make convenient bedfellows.

They’ll never say so out loud but they want the government to fail. As Paul Krugman sarcastically put it, “If government did anything good then people wouldn’t understand that government is bad.”

Also, I believe many of them, the theocrats and authoritarian chief among them, want the government to collapse so they can institute the dictatorship they think America should be. So that lesser beings and the unpatriotic should suffer as they deserve.
