They might cost a lot. Look at the last tax cuts along with an expensive war. They cost jobs, they cost people's homes, they cost far too much.
the tax cut didn't cost anything.
the spending is responsible
Again, it cost. Just because you don't want this to be so, doesn't make it so.
it costs nothing to reduce revenue
it is the only thing in this world that is actually free
the only thing that incurs cost is spending
the only thing that incurs deficits is spending in excess of revenue
The problem is, if you owe money, it costs you money. You've already borrowed the money. You're not borrowing it a second time, but it's costing you. If you have a loan, it costs you. You could pay it back, and then it won't cost you, but then you decide to earn less money and reduce the amount you pay back. It's costing you.
paying interest is no different than spending on anything else
Okay, so what?
The point here is, is that if you take LESS in tax, then you're paying LESS to repay what you owe. If you're paying less to repay what you owe, you'll owe MORE.
Do you get that?
