Nope, lots of working poor need it, cause salaries ain't what they used to be. The GOP is living in the past, man.
There is still that small matter of 20 trillion debt and over 150 trillion in unfunded liabilities to be dealt with. Remember Gary North's pie chart of federal spending. Entitlement spending will decrease in real terms no matter who is running the show. Same for defense spending.
I guess you assume that tax revenue will be either non-existent or stagnant at the very least.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
