tax cuts did more cutting of revenue that increasing. Entirely irrelevant to the point. If tax cuts did decrease revenue that doesn't show or even suggest my point is wrong. $2.66 trillion is massive revenue. Its massive if tax cuts caused an increase in revenue or if they caused it to drop. Your statement is false either way. If you want to argue some other point than fine, recognize your original point was false and we can move on. In fact they probably actually did neither. Revenue did increase so it can't reasonably be said that the tax cuts caused it to drop, but the revenue was probably less than it would have been with out the tax cuts, so they didn't cause an increase. The tax cuts helped the economy grow. The growth of the economy caused revenue to increase, but the growth of the economy was not solely due to tax cuts.
