It’s not about the deficit. The Heritage Foundation’s vision for America isn’t a rollback to the 1950’s, it’s a rollback to 1825. They see the only purpose of the government is to protect the property rights and economic power of the uber wealthy.

Cruelty is a key element of the program. Like when they ripped babies from parents last time, the point is to make life in the US so hellish they don’t want to stay. Makes perfect sense to psychopaths.
