The leader they worship, Donald J. Trump, is the ``king of debt,'' as he described himself. Spellbound, whenever he commands, they would crash our government and default on America. Never concerned with the soaring Trump debt that they supported, their sudden interest now in deficit reduction is really about undermining education, health, environmental protection, and social service initiatives that they never supported in the first place. Their plan is not about debt reduction.

Don't make Americans pay for Republican hypocrisy. ____________________
