You’re being very naive and simplistic. Certain items in the budget increase, others decrease. For instance, the GOP has cut the IRS enforcement arm’s share of the budget by over 30% in recent years, which vastly increases cheating and causes deficits of over ten times what it saves. Since most people with jobs can’t easily cheat on taxes, this disproportionally benefits rich tax cheats, so it’s obvious why the GOP supports such a policy.
