Yes it does. It has always been a feature of supply-side economics, from Reagan to Dubya to Trump. Republicans cut taxes and spend like drunken sailors when in power insisting that tax cuts will somehow magically provide the requisite revenue (something it has never done(because it can't)). Then they proclaim the need for austerity when Democrats take over. It has always been thus. They had a chance to show they could do it otherwise, but failed miserably.
