I'm puzzled how this is news, other than the term "Two Santa Claus" philosophy.
Anyone who's been paying attention at all since the 1980s should know how the Republican party doesn't give a tin shit about deficits they run up to pay for tax cuts to the rich and military spending, but scream blue hell over any money for social programs or infrastructure, especially if it's a Democrat administration.
The amazing thing is how few people actually pay attention.
The only actual story, in my view, is the gullibility of people who think they're in the wealthiest 1/2% of the population, and so have a vested interest in the estate tax; or believe that the tax cuts Republicans pass are actually going to the middle class rather than just looking at the numbers and seeing the truth. Or their inability to look at history and see which party is actually "the party of deficits", despite the rhetoric.

their goal has always been to run up such big deficits that programs to help ordinary people would be impossible to pay for & then blame the huge national debt on socialism thereby destroying it.
Their strategy is the classical example of chutzpah: kill one's parents and then beg for mercy because one is an orphan.
