I think the flaw here is that you have bought into the notion the
Republicans care one single whit about deficits and deficit spending.
They don't.
Now, taxes they care about. But not deficits. They won't surrender power by attacking social security or (government) medical costs. They just won't.
In summary, Republicans do not care about deficits. Not their politicians. Not their voting base.
They have not cared since 1980. It's only a shallow rhetorical argument they make whenever they can't control all three branches of government.
At best, they might go after some spending on public broadcasting or planned parenthood, but these "savings" have absolutely zero to do with cutting costs and everything to do with their social warfare on behalf of their Christiaist base, of course.
