I see the POV below -- but think it misses the larger point.

This is what tax cuts did to us.

But for me it is a sub-text of the larger problem which is: We have a government that we cannot afford.

However it is done -- for people to be free -- it must be done -- government expenditures cannot forever exceed revenues. They must MATCH.

More specifically and more necessary at present, the gap between expenditures and revenues cannot accelerate forever.

Where we differ: Government is too d*mn big by at least 100x. The real solution is not a diet but a thorough gutting of the useless parts of it. The economy can certainly survive without a department of Education, a department of Energy, a department of Homeland security ... I could go on.

It is just too d*mn big!!
