The most extreme GOPers like Grover Norquist and the Kochs want to take us back to the pre-New Deal era. But I suspect most GOPers just want to continue federal on programs like Medicaid, Food Stamps, etc as backdoor corporate welfare. After all... WTF do they care? If we're running massive deficits... funded with money stolen from future taxpayers... even if they're no Starve The Beast traitors... deficit spending is a real easy choice since those future taxpayers have no say. We can party and they'll just get stuck with the bill.
