Economist Paul Krugman summarized the strategy in February 2010:
"Rather than proposing unpopular spending cuts, Republicans would push
through popular tax cuts, with the deliberate intention of worsening
the government's fiscal position. Spending cuts could then be sold as
a necessity rather than a choice, the only way to eliminate an
unsustainable budget deficit." He wrote that the "...beast is
starving, as planned..." and that "Republicans insist that the deficit
must be eliminated, but they're not willing either to raise taxes or
to support cuts in any major government programs. And they're not
willing to participate in serious bipartisan discussions, either,
because that might force them to explain their plan—and there isn't
any plan, except to regain power
