Right wingers rant and rave about wasting money and balancing the books but manage to stack up way more national debt than left wingers. It’s just gaslighting. They believe that spending on poor people is a terrible waste of money, but spending on rich people and rich corporations is good because they know how to handle it, having had so much experience of being wealthy already. The poor just spend it. Admittedly that’s called growth in the economy, but everyone deserves a tax break, they think, especially those who pay so much tax.
