The ""why" is obvious
$125 billion.
They already gave that $125 billion (and much more) to Musk, Ellison, Bezos and the others in the 0.1%. And as a result, Trump's economy has increased the debt by over $700 billion in just the first 2 months of fiscal year 2026, which is a rate that would take the $38 TRILLION debt to $42 TRILLION by the end of this fiscal year.
$125 billion is truly a drop in the ocean, but out of principle, they just can't do anything that benefits the American people. Their dogma says that these insane policies will create "the hottest economy in the world" and everything will work out great in the end. But the fact is that all but one of the recessions since WWII have started under Republican Presidents and Republican fiscal policies.
Why? That's who they are. It is what they always do.
