You could argue that tax cuts reduce revenue. You could also argue that wasteful government spending reduces revenue.
You can't cut taxes, and then spend like a liberal. That's what Bush and his Congress did, and gee, it didn't work out.
Now, if the reduced revenues from the tax cuts had inspired the Federal Government to get thrifty, and cut wasteful spending, we'd have the same revenues for lower taxes. Who doesn't want that?
When times get tough citizens tighten their belt. Our Federal Government could learn a few things from that.
