Republicans believe in Keynesian economics and the importance of government fiscal policy in the management of the economy only when it works to the benefit of a Republican administration. This would suggest that we can expect the current Republican controlled Congress to somehow find a way to set aside their aversion to deficit spending and debt accumulation and support Mr. Trump's aggressive and risky plans.

Republicans seem confused as to whether they should stick to the theme that the economy is still weak — which they've been claiming since President Obama took office, even though the Great Recession was created on their watch — or whether they should acknowledge the obvious sharp improvement in the economy today and somehow take credit for it.
