Repubs used to call Democrats the "tax and spend party". The GOP is the "don't tax just spend anyway party".

You forgot the ~~import taxes~~ tariffs.
So, they are the tax and spend party too. Except they spend a lot more, and their taxes are designed to punish anyone who is not rich.
So, they are more like the tax, spend, and be the billionaire's little cucks party.
