I predict the federal government is going to fail eventually. It will have a financial melt-down before any true reforms can be implemented. If you agree with the above assumption, then my argument for tax cuts NOW (regardless of what happens to spending in the short-term) is entirely consistent. It will force the financial melt-down to happen sooner rather than later, which will lead to true reforms sooner rather than later. It is YOUR argument that is irrational! What you are advocating is analogous to pumping even more of your hard-earned money into Enron stock as it was going down, somehow hoping that it would "turn around" even though you know that the accounting is corrupt!
