The GOP claims to be fiscally responsible, but only makes a fuss when they are in the minority.
They never vetted their 2017 tax cuts. They asserted that corporations and the super wealthy would reinvest the untaxed capital in America, generating greater tax revenue. Last time I checked, that assumption did not pan out.
Smart investments make money. Bang for the buck should always be the focus.
But, I agree that no one in Congress is willing to take ownership of checks written by their predecessors.
