What I don't understand is why they want to cut the debt or the budget. Previous terms have shown that increasing spending and racking up debts isn't leading to loss of polls. Why are Trump and Elon going on this cutting spree instead of doling out tax cuts and increasing pork to their constituents on borrowed money?

Because the Project 2025 plan includes de facto destroying as much of the government as possible to make it easier to replace people with pure cronies.
