It also does not matter how many times you repeat the same political argument, you end up ignoring political and economic reality.
The fact is the budget condition year to year is a matter of tax revenues to outlays. Both have to be balanced against aggregate demand indicators at the time, and no matter what you say the federal government is an active participant in the economy with its spending being a matter of GDP math. If you lower government spending from one year to the next you lower that number calculated into GDP.
If you make the political argument that there should be less taxation but then again do nothing for spending (which tends to be the real result political ideology aside,) then the net effect is the direction of deficit all the while ignoring aggregate demand. Since we tend to run a deficit year on year with very few exceptions anyway, you tax less and spend more or even the same you add to deficits. The reason is always the same, tax revenues on a trend line have an interrupt to some other line.
This happens time and time again. Reagan, Bush 43, Trump all the same.
If you take the political argument that there should be less taxation, or the rich should keep more to "trickle down," or whatever else the economic argument is what did that do to aggregate demand and what did that do to the federal budget. You matter your political take, the onus is on you to produce proof that trickle down economics works or that tax cuts pay for themselves. You've yet to do so.
You do not get to isolate the government from the economy only when politically convenient for you to do so. I provide empirical data from the same sources you use and more, you respond with rhetoric claiming you've won the debate on a level absent both political and economic reality.
And all the while you've taken the victory lap... spending still occurs, and deficits go up. Just as Trump is doing right now with his tax cuts.
We can continue to have a semantic debate about tax cuts coming to a cost to the budget all you would like, but it *still* does not remove the political and economic reality that those tax cuts will escalate our deficit, in turn will escalate the amount of Debt held by the Public (breaking auction records that you have zero answer to,) and will in turn add to Total Debt even faster (which is the point of this thread.)
And you have zero to offer in actual data to support the change, just the rhetoric.
