Well, my big notion about the Republicans is that: i) they consider
DoE, DoD government spending is really not government spending (or, in
other words, those are sacred cows) and all other government spending
needs to be cut to zero (except the paychecks for Republicans
politicians), and ii) all we need to do is make rich people happy
(i.e. richer) and everything else will sort itself out (with or
without trickle-down, preferably without).
