Good question, and I’d lean Democrat. The GOP has shown nothing to deal with the mess of things. Cutting taxes by itself as a be-all and end-all isn’t a solution. Cutting government by itself isn’t a solution either.

Solutions are far more nuanced than a simple tax/spend or cut taxes/smaller government mantra allows - and fact is that most people understand this, even if their electoral preferences don’t always show it. Most recent polls show that the public is open to a combination of higher taxes on “rich” with spending cuts to get the budgetary situation under control.

And it wouldn’t be the first time I’d be accused of being a RINO, even though I was a DINO for a long time (and I’m really more conservative on fiscal issues than most Democrats, and more liberal than Republicans would ever admit on social stuff).
