Man, if I ever get elected to public office, it's gonna work like this:
1. Slash and burn government programs. Ruthlessly.
2. Privatize whatever I didn't destroy outright, within reason.
3. Cut taxes, so that the resulting budget surplus stays where it belongs: in the pockets of taxpayers.
4. When my state's economy booms thanks to the low taxes and I end up with another budget surplus, cut taxes again.
5. Wash, rinse, repeat.
6. ???
7. Profit!
Didn't you read the article? It says tax cuts are spending.
