Probably not, IOKIYAR, the House Freedom Caucus and their phoney act only works when Dems are in charge, so the pretense of caring about the deficit was the thinnest of veneers.

When Bush was hyping tax cuts he promised there would be trillion dollar surpluses... still waiting? Now Republicans are back with more tax cuts and once again promising that is going to supercharge the economy and make up for lost revenue.
