This has been the GOP's plan all along:
1) Pass massive tax cuts for the rich.
2) Claim the cuts will pay for themselves, dismissing concerns about the deficit.
3) Use the massive hole they've blown in the budget to justify deep cuts to programs that millions rely on.

@rbreich with the national debt what it is, do they need to use something new to try to justify spending cuts? Can't the just use the national debt that all administrations have been making worse?
It's not like we're operating on surpluses here waiting for some republican to come and do something financially irresponsible. Both parties drive our national debt.
