This doesn't surprise me at all.
Republicans talk a big game about government spending. They spent the past 8 years saying they couldn't afford anything, especially Obamacare. Yet, once they get into power, the first thing they do is piss money away on a wall. I wish that was a joke, but it's not. And our already oversized military? Guess what? The cheeto-faced baboon thinks it's not big enough.
And it's not like this is the first time they've done this shit. They complained, endlessly, about tax-and-spend democrats while Clinton was in office. As soon as Bush took office, they gave the tax rebate (which I have mixed feelings over) and continued to piss money away on an endless war and corporate hand-outs.
You want to reduce government spending, get rid of lobbyists who constantly bribe government officials into giving their companies billions of dollars. I can't help but think, if it weren't for lobbying, we wouldn't have supply-side economics, the military industrial complex, the prison industrial complex, the militarization of the police and we would probably have single payer healthcare and reasonable gun control.
