I fully understand the appeal of an economic theory that effectively states that "you can have everything you want but will have to pay for it with tax cuts," but it simply isn't true and never has been.
Honestly, I would think that people, especially those hit hard by deindustrialization would realize this by now. Time and time again, they fall for this and it does little to nothing to relieve the loss of employment in their region.

Moreover, isn't the GOP supposed to be the "party of self-reliance"? Okay so, if a Republican loses his job, shouldn't he just get busy finding some other way to make a living instead of expecting the government to get him his job back?
