For decades, the GOP has been about cutting taxes, mostly for the rich, and vague happy talk about spending cuts which never happen. They cannot and will not seriously cut spending, because they cannot and will not touch the military and Social Security. Their talk about fiscal discipline is completely opportunistic, a political tool to use to attack Democratic priorities. It's really very simple, and yet people keep falling for the act. Which is why they keep doing it.
