The Republicans are so bad at governing.
They are addicted to tax cuts
https://www.mentalhelp.net/articles/definition-of-addiction/1. Tax cuts
2. Cutting taxes too much
(or refusing to raise them when needed) and/or too fast causes harm to economy
3. More tax cuts are pursued despite initial harm
4. By passing giant, non-stop tax cuts, Republicans seek favorable treatment from voters, leading to election wins, leading to pleasure
There is nothing wrong with trying to maintain reasonable tax rates and trying to weed out actual burdensome regulations, but Republicans have gone off the deep end with this stuff. It's at the point where they are driving states into the ground and blowing up the national debt for pretty much no useful purpose. The only problem is that raising taxes or accepting the idea that some regulations are OK is so foreign to them at this point that they reject it like a body rejects a bad transplant organ. Looking at the dissents of some Republicans in KS/OK, it's like these people don't care if the govt, schools and hospitals had to permanently shut down. They are 100% anti-govt and anti-tax to the point where any raise, no matter what, is unacceptable. I can't think of a more irresponsible person to have any power whatsoever in government.
