2. Stockman? That's a blast from the past. He's one of the architects of "reducing fraud, waste and abuse".

Yesterday

As a hatchet man for Reagan, he loved screwing Federal workers and the underprivileged, all in the name of "balancing the budget". Of course, the Reagan tax cuts for the wealthiest got his full support.

As he was doing this, the Federal debt exploded, leading to decades of "borrow and spend" Republican policies.

The same Republican policies that have us in an endless cycle of increasing debt and cutting government services for the people.

Supply-side, my ass.
