Tax cuts = debt increase

There is no evidence that tax cuts do anything but increase the debt, a favorite pastime of the recent Republican Party. So, it will be interesting to see if the Republican majority in the House will continue to promote the big lie by supporting the extension of the Bush tax cuts or have to admit that tax cut don't really work in the manner advertised.

The equation revenues minus expenses equals surplus/debt applies. Most successful business owners know that decreasing revenues is rarely a good idea. So, why would anyone think it's a good idea for government?

If a business decides to lower prices, they, at least, have the opportunity to make it up on volume.

What do you think the Vegas line on this would be?
