It’s fiscal responsibility, GOP nutter style. Chop taxes and claim that you’re doing everyone a favor, but when the economy doesn’t actually respond with more tax revenue (because trickle down has never managed that feat), the response is to slash and burn services or run up debt, because that’s all the GOP seems to know how to do.

It’s what Walker is doing in WI, and it’s what Christie was trying to do in NJ, where he’s had to miss scheduled pension payments to avoid having to raise taxes to cover shortfalls.

It’s the same story in Kansas where Brownback slashed taxes saying it will result in new revenue and jobs, and yet jobs didn’t magically appear and the budget was a mess.

This is the modern GOP - fiscally irresponsible, morally bankrupt, and looking to do for the nation what they’re doing at the state level.
