In other words if this spending was brought back to the former percentage of GDP, about 1/5th of what it is now, a literal $2 trillion would disappear off the federal spending side and thus we'd have a $225 billion surplus without changing an additional single thing in our government's tax or spending structure.
There would not only be no inflation the cost of living would drop like a stone.
So why doesn't either party go after this?
Because they're not only not interested in solving this problem they have no interest in addressing the cost of living issues Americans have at all, in any way, because doing so will cause asset prices to correct back to something more-reasonable -- and of course the people who profit from said inflated "values" are who they actually serve, at 99% of the population's expense, and they will continue to do so until and unless the body politic of America forces them to change their point of view.
