Spending has nothing to do with revenue. Cutting spending does not affect revenue and vice versa. Anyone that is married knows this.
Cutting spending just means there is more to spend on the next shiny thing that catches their eye.
Reducing the debt is what is critical. Soon, the interest on the debt will be the ONLY thing the government can afford.
“Spending has nothing to do with revenue. Cutting spending does not affect revenue and vice versa. Anyone that is married knows this.”
Nonsense. Cutting spending reduces how much revenue you are looking for, which reduces how much government tax pain you want to inflict on the economy, which means with big spending cuts you could reduce the tax rates, which which would reduce costs of businesses, which would make them more productive, which can increase expeceted tax revenue. EVERYONE knows that.
