I read somewhere that Cons typically increase the expenditures of government and almost never lower it. Am I just crazy?
Nope you’re not crazy, and this article lays it out.

Thank you so much. I mean, facts don't mean anything to the Kult of Krasnov, but I like having them to reference in case I face off against someone that's got more than a room temperature IQ.
it's a shame these chud cocksuckers have less than zero capacity for self-awareness. Facts and evidence don't matter; they're utterly deranged and incapable of perceiving reality. Anything that disagrees with their precious snowflake feelings is 'fake news' and they just keep handing each other participation trophies. I have zero empathy or sympathy for them. Every time I see them suffer, I make it a point to chomp a big fat slice of schadenfreude pie while I point and laugh. It's not like they're real people anymore, now that the fascist mind-virus has erased who they used to be and replaced it with unquestioning loyalty to their mandarin chief.
Thank you!
Yeah but the stock market is fucken ROCKETING . . . . . . . . . Down to hell
You gotta spend money to lose money.
I mean, they will likely add to the deficit mostly because they won't collect taxes on the rich. The current spending, if I'm being honest, isn't really an accurate prediction of their actions since contracts are still playing out and plenty of money is still being spent, although I'm betting additional costs are incurred if it's covering severance costs and legal bills, which could be temporary if they have their way.
We're two months in; if in a year they "win" and a ton of people aren't still sueing them (which honestly is unlikely unless we really go full nazi) then sure, it'll cost less because it won't be doing jack shit for the American people. Still not a win, of course, since it's like saying you lost weight after a quadruple amputation.
So much for cutting the waste!
