Or they could, like business does, cut expenses.
Taxes are lower, especially for the richest, since WW2, while the price index continues to soar, faster than inflation. How much does phone service, or food, or a car, or anything else, cost, compared to a few decades ago?
If corporate profits are high while prices continue to rise, are they cutting expenses or just raising fees? Why can't government do the same?

There's a lot of dead weight in the bureaucracy
Could you substantiate this? How should the problem be corrected?
How big a difference (tens of billions? hundreds of billions? trillions?) do you envision this making?

Every person in congress that filibustered the Civil Rights Act was a democrat, from Bob Byrd of WV to J. William Fulbright of Arkansas...yet Bill Clinton, who cited Fulbright as a mentor, can call himself "the first black president" and get away with it. Of the 99 politicians that signed the Southern Manifesto all but two were democrats, yet somehow the republican party gets credit for filibustering a bill that Johnson would not have been able to get passed without republican support.
Why do you think that is?
Also respond to my point about Reagan and blacks.
