I have seen some people who are undeniably very smart get drawn into this line of thinking.

If saving money was the goal surely there's be discussion akin to "let's cut the military budget". That's how you'd know they're serious. But as it stands it is clearly just an ideological axe grinder.

(I should note I'm not American, just watching bemused from the sidelines)

The current GOP plans for the budget and tax cut will increase the deficit by 4T.

No one is serious about “saving money”. It’s just to justify the corporate tax cut.

On top of the $8 trillion in debt needed for the last round of billionaire tax cuts and unaccountable PPP helicopter money Trump spent last time around.

The way we know they're not serious is they're already planning to cut taxes taxes on the rich and corporations. There's no savings to be had, they plan to spend everything they cut on themselves, and another $3T beyond that.
