So did the national debt. The money has to come from somewhere. There has to be cuts to .gov first. President's can promise tax cuts but they never cut .gov.

The debt increased because the democrats never enacted the spending cuts they promised and when federal tax receipts doubled under lower rates spending went even higher. The increased debt had NOTHING to do with tax cuts. Lower rates nearly doubled receipts, spending caused the deficit to grow.

Ya think you can grow faster than the .gov monster? Good luck with that. Cuts first. Then taxes.
