From the article...
"Conservatives have a harder product to sell than Democrats. Reducing spending generally entails at least some reductions in services and the tightening of belts. People don’t tend to like that, no matter how important it is to the long term health of the nation. Trickle down economics is pretty much an obscene phrase in the minds of many, so just tax cuts and nothing but tax cuts isn’t going to work. These ideas have to be articulated properly and put into motion in a way which produces tangible results people can appreciate."
The GOP is going to have to cut spending and eliminate programs. If the debt and deficits continue to rise on their watch, we will see a repeat of what happened after the last time the GOP had it all.
We are also on the path to a debt crisis and continued subpar economic growth. I understand it's easy to be Santa Claus and use the budget for vote buying, but the long term consequences are catastrophic if we continue this path
