The Rise and Fall of the Tea Party?

The Tea Party was just false-flag recruitment for the GOP.

And the GOP is the party of borrow-and-spend, the Democrats are tax-and-spend. People will put a stop to the latter faster than the former so I think the Democrats are less dangerous.

Yes, I agree with this. The republicans were the party of fiscal responsibility until GW was elected. Then they scrapped it. Obama is elected. Tea party starts. Tea Party goes away the second Trump is elected.

Uhmmmmmm. Reagan gave us massive tax cuts and massive increases in military spending. Reagan nearly tripled the national debt.
The reason the deficits were not much more massive under Reagan was TEFRA, a massive tax increase thanks to Bob Dole, which in the end failed to balance the budget. The idea that tax cuts pay for themselves died under Reagan. GOP and fiscal responsibility? Don't make me laugh.
It is interesting that the Trump tax cut wasn't followed by tremendous drops in tax revenue like the W and Reagan tax cuts did. I think the main reason behind that was it was primarily a corporate tax cut.
