Bring critical, even venomously so if government spending is not the same as saying taxes should be reduced/removed, or government programs reduced.

Put differently: I'm critical of how school lunch money is spent, but I sure as shit don't want to reduce school lunch funding.

A common problem is republicans get in office, claim to be draining the swamp, funnel tax finding to their buddy's private company, get a trust fund for when they retire, then turn around the next election cycle and say the public program is broken. That deserves venom.
