When the Republican growth agenda involves tax breaks for the wealthiest, that is a bit of an idea that has been tested and failed. It is hard to sell the public on a pro-growth agenda of cutting the highest income tax rates - this is what Bush did and it let to end of Clinton era surpluses and ultimately a massive deficit and fiscal crisis (in addition to other factors of course). Perhaps they need some new economists on the Republican side.
