We're on like a half dozen straight Republican administrations of tax cuts for the rich and massive deficit spending combined with unnecessary wars.

Everything you just described is an investment that has a substantial positive output economically, Even when implemented incompetently.

It's so funny to see economic "rationalism" always pop up as soon as Democratic political waves appear, while when Republicans have all the control of the purse strings: utterly unrestrained fiscal malfeasance.

And the disturbing trend with Republican administrations is that the corruption and incompetence gets worse every cycle.
