If the public comes to hate government, for failing to provide essential services, that’s good for the Republican Party: the public’s disgust with government will cause more and more Republicans to replace Democrats in Congress, and the White House to become a virtually permanent Republican enclave, because the Republican Party favors “small government.” (What a laugh!) As Ronald Reagan (who soared the debt) himself phrased it, in his first inaugural address, “Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.” So, his man, Norquist, wanted to “drown it in the bathtub.” The goal is thus to shrink government services, and the key to doing it is to drive the government so deeply into debt that slashing government spending will be forced. Deficits are thus an essential part of the Republican strategy, to win their ultimate one-party rule.
