No, I wasn't a giant fan of cutting taxes when the government in question hadn't even begun spending money yet.

Yes, I was concerned it would balloon the deficit.

Yes, I was right.
Taxes belong to the taxpayer. They should not have to be 'paid' for. You have already proven that you lack a basic understanding of taxation right from jump street.

Any one who uses tax cuts as the reason for deficits are truly clueless -- such as yourself, 99% of all politicians and most economists.

Governments spending more money than it takes in causes deficits, plain and simple ... but not to everyone, I guess.

You are rarely ever right; just delusional about your own abilities.

And tax cuts can decrease the amount of money it takes in. Without spending cuts to offset the decrease in income, the deficit goes up.
