ability to vote, from those who are dependent upon government services and programs, by deeply slashing and hopefully eventually eliminating them. Since most of these people, (with the notable exception of those who are either stupid, or stupid and elderly) tend to vote Democratic, doing so will greatly weaken the Democratic Party, and increase the likelihood of the GOP gaining large majorities in the House and Senate, as well as having mostly Rethugs controlling local and state governments, and continuously electing/re-electing Rethugs as a two-term POTUS.

By continually increasing military and defense spending, as well as demanding further and permanent tax cuts for the wealthy and the global corporate capitalists, allegedly to create more jobs, this ideally puts increasing pressure on DC to cut government programs and services, becoming the only means to significantly reduce the federal debt.
