Republicans only cry about the debt and deficit when Democrats are in charge. When they get in, no problem. What they are doing is hoping to bust the budget and force cuts to all social programs especially medicare, Medicaid, disability, food stamps, etc. When taxes are cut revenues need to be made up somewhere else or programs must be cut. This has been their playbook for decades. They will not cut the military spending but may increase it because it is so lucrative for corporations. The wealthy do not like these so called entitlement programs however they have no problem taking corporate welfare (usually by bribing politicians) and getting good deals from governments so that they have little risk for their many schemes that often don't work out. Privatize the profits and socialize the losses.
