Since 2001 only one policy has addressed the deficit
• The Republican Party is all about taking the deficit/debt seriously. (according to them)

• Since George W. Bush was sworn in in 2001 until today the government has done exactly one thing to reduce our long-term debt: "Obamacare."

• The top priority of the Republican Party is to undo that.

1. I think their first priority is to make the Bush tax cuts permanent.

Which was what increased deficits more than any other thing.

But you have a very good point.
