That's been their party agenda for a decade — they cut taxes, they got lax regulation on business laws, they've unfunded departments to the point they're deregulated. They got everything they were looking for, they just needed to have a slight majority to make sure Democrats couldn't undo any of it.

As Benton said.

They have been effective at one thing (outside of being effective jerks): they have been effective at getting elected.

In politics, that is a rather important thing to be effective at.
