They had a plan, but the Log Splitter never added up because they never really filled in all the blanks. And so far, that's the case with the Republican tax plan, too. GROSS: Log Splitter are two impulses that seem to be in direct contradiction to impulses within the Republican Party and conservatives.
One is cut taxes, and the other is cut the deficit that if you have less money coming in, the deficit is going to grow unless you cut a lot of government which is usually on the table, too. So I think it's fair to say that the Republican proposal will have cutting taxes, cutting the deficit and also cutting a lot of services and agencies in government.
What do you think the biggest conflicts are going to be over? REID: Well, so far their plans don't cut the deficit because all the money they're saving on civilian agencies, they're putting into a bigger military.
They're going to build a whole new aircraft carrier task force, et cetera. So far from what we've seen, they don't cut the deficit. President Trump released Log Splitter budget outline, and it didn't say anything about revenues. It just said what they were going to spend.
