Tax cuts don't cause deficits, over spending causes deficits.
I love it when right wing true believers states nonsense like this. In the real world of real Americans with real incomes and real budgets such insanity would be mocked and ridiculed.
I can see it right now in homes all across America:
Husband: Hey baby, you know how you are always complaining that I am never here to do those chores you want me to do around the house? All that is changing and I will have much more time at home.
Wife: How's that?
Husband: I quit my second job working evenings at the mall.
Wife: That second job brought in eighteen grand last year and was the difference between us being able to live here and pay the bills and us having to move to a much smaller place in a crappy neighborhood.
Husband: No baby - it'll be okay. We just cut back on other stuff that we are overspending on.
Wife: Overspending!?!?!?!?!? Like on what?
Husband: Like food and utilities and clothing and health care and the kids education expenses and gifts for the family and helping out your mother and care payments and repairs and all that other stuff.
Wife: Let me get this straight: you quit your second job and in order to stay living here we have to cut back on everything else and live like hermits?
Husband: Its not going to hurt us ,,, its ......
Wife: You freaking idiot!!!!!!!!! Get your overweight behind down to the mall right now and get that job back and don't you dare come back here telling us its going to be okay its just a matter of our "overspending".
Husband: But baby, you don't understand... the loss of that income is not the problem - its our overspending that is.
Wife: Overspending my Great Aunt Mathilda. Why are you still standing here? Get down to the mall now and you better come back with that second job.
That is how it works in the real America with real people. Overspending my Great Aunt Mathilda!!!!!!
