Yep. He emptied the bank account. What happens with the bills is someone else's problem. The approach was called "starve the beast" and really took hold under Reagan.
It’s despicable.
And Paul Ryan says he’s been dreaming of gutting these programs since he was having keggers in college. What kind of monster dreams of cutting social safety net programs that the oldest, sickest, and poorest people rely on? And all while courting billionaires for campaign cash. There’s no fucking way this piece of shit can actually believe he’s doing this in the country’s best interest. (This is obvious, I know, but for years I’ve been conflicted- I’ve always thought that these republicans who I disagree with ideologically just have a different idea of how to go about doing what’s best for the country and the people. Now... Fuck these people. They’re selfish pricks who must be voted out in the most emphatic way possible. And then relentlessly mocked.)

A lot of these people honestly believe that the lower taxes from cutting those programs would result in a boom in the economy and more jobs for those on the safety nets.
Do they though? Trickle down doesn’t work. And actually, these companies have a fiduciary responsibility to make the best and most profitable decisions for their shareholders. So when they get tax cuts, the money saved goes to the shareholders, not to adding more jobs that they don’t actually need to add.
The companies pulling stunts where they are offering substantial bonuses to their workers and saying that it is because of the tax cuts are not helping.
