Wouldn't simultaneously spending less and taxing more equitably be better all around? Rather than having one side want to gut everything while cutting taxes even more and one side want to steal everything from anyone who makes more than $1M/yr and just turn around and give it all away, something a bit more middle ground might make more sense.
