The time America was Great was the time of tax and spend liberalism.

We defeated the Soviet Union in the middle of the Reagan/Clinton economy.  If Reagan is "tax and spend liberalism" to you, I'm happy to go back to the Reagan years.

Reagan was borrow and spend.  This is supposed to be antithetical to conservatives, but apparently it's OK if it's your guys doing it.  With the sole exception GHWB, every Republican since has followed suit.

And GHWB is the sole Republican who caused more recessions than he fixed.  Unlike Democrats, Republicans are able to realize when their policies are destructive, and to change them.  Austerity was one of the policies that was destructive and had to be abandoned.
