As I recall from past reading, in general, the US runs up the least deficit during periods when control of the government is split. That is, the Democrats block some of the things that the Republicans want to do with funds, and the Republicans block some of the things that the Democrats want to do with funds. Tax cuts, spending, whatever.
Right now, the Republicans hold a trifecta, control all of the Presidency, House, and Senate, so my expectation is that they will probably tend to adopt policy that runs up more deficit than the norm, since they're unchecked.
Assuming that the Democrats take the House in the midterms, though, the GOP will need to compromise on new policy after that.
i would imagine they are already planning to rig certain blue areas(voting machines) and increase thier voting suppression in those states controlled by the gop, like how they called the eleciton early and stop counting. the problem is we have uncooperative senate to deal with(DINOS siding with the gop), and most of thier seats arnt up for reelection.
