I agree. The problem is that taxes should be cut, but so should spending. But once a welfare program is in place, Congress views it as in entitlement, and even questioning it is political blasphemy.
The Democrat philosophy is that we don't have a spending problem, we have a "pay-for" problem. Too many Republicans claim to believe otherwise but lack the courage to do anything about it.
