Are you sure? They always say that when they are out of power and when they are in power they increase the deficit. Remember the constant intense howling about the deficit during the Obama administration while he slowly whittled it down from almost 1.5 trillion a year he inherited from the previous Republican administration to under .5 trillion. Then Trump immediately doubled it in the first year and kept pumping it up but not a peep. When Biden came to power they suddenly care again. That pattern goes way way back. I think what people and especially politicians do rather than what they say exposes what they really want.
