I would have the same issue with Democrats if they ratcheted up spending but declined to raise taxes to pay for them. If you're going to reduce taxes, that's great; cut spending. Don't tell the people you can cut taxes without cutting gov't services and entitlements. Don't tell the people that you can increase gov't services without raising taxes. One-time expenditures like stimulus is also different from expanded services that adds to discretionary or mandatory spending every year. And if we hadn't ramped up deficit spending for a tax cut we didn't really need we would be in a better position to deal with the debt caused by COVID. It's pretty amazing that the Republicans managed to pass a tax cut ahead of an election year that proved wildly unpopular.

And get to be part of an organized crime group (the union) which gets them insane benefits. So either quit and get a higher paying job, or feel free to STFU. Or go to college for something else
