Tax cuts not being affordable or unaffordable is a matter of definition. They aren't spending. Tax cuts decrease (or in certain cases they can increase, or have no effect on, but decrease is more typical), the affordability of the spending, but the spending is what you have to afford. Tax cuts are not themselves a cost, even though they are something that has an impact on the government's ability to afford its spending.
