Tim, it's amazing you can say that with a straight face. I'd bet if the Dems claimed night came after day, that you'd claim that it just wasn't so. Look. Bush cut taxes twice during his administration. Lower taxes means lower tax revenues, unless business growth going gang busters. Unfortunately, over the last decade, business growth didn't increase enough to offset Bush's tax cuts. Then throw a couple of wars and a financial disaster induced great recession in there and we have the mother of deficits as far as the eye can see. It is an exceedingly silly debate to argue about whether cutting taxes or increasing spending increases the deficits. The fact is that both are proximate causes of our current deficits.
