Why don’t republicans seem to understand the consequences of tax cuts?

[Nostra]

How about this: CUT SPENDING!!!!!!!

Spending has nothing to do with debt, apparently.

 

[Lesh]

Once again, tax revenues went up. So what do you think caused the debt to go up?

This isn’t hard stuff, Halfwit.

Inflation and GDP growth means revenues always go up…. As does spending.
Tax cuts mean that revenue does not increase enough to compensate.

That has been pointed out over and over and you keep pretending not to see it.

Tax cuts lead to DEBT. Almost always

Anyone caught mouthing this nonsense should be skinned alive..

From 1981 to 1989, the Pentagon budget doubled from $158 billion to $304 billion. The years of the greatest spending hike in the military budget were 1978-87, when the Pentagon's expenditures rose from $180 billion to $280 billion in real 1987 dollars.[22]



Domestic Spending. Overall domestic spending growth was relatively constrained during the Reagan presidency, particularly compared with that of other presidencies, as shown in Table 3. In fact, domestic spending grew at a slower real rate under Reagan than under all other recent presidents. Moreover, domestic outlays as a share of GDP fell from 15.3 to 12.9 percent from 1981 to 1989 (Table 2). But the reductions in domestic spending were
substantially smaller than required to balance the federal budget, cut taxes, and finance a military build-up.

What is the “cost” of a tax cut? How does more revenue increase debt?

The cost of tax cuts is debt.

Already explained to you and ignored

Yeah, you keep repeating the same claptrap.

How does debt go up if revenues go up?

Stop increasing spending faster than revenues.

 

[Lesh]

If you get a 3% raise annually but voluntarily decide to work fewer hours… can you expect to have the same amount of money to pay your bills… knowing of course that inflation will always make things more expensive?

Of course not. You may have a higher income but your bills have increased even though you have taken on no new obligations.

It is? If revenues go up after a tax cut, how does it cause debt?

Moron.

You think you can just will inflation to not make things cost more?

Do you WANT negative GDP growth?

They don’t think spending has anything to do with the debt. That’s just how stupid they are.

Debt is caused by increased revenues and inflation.

Revenue loss, Ineducable Piece of Shyte..

That, and the inevitable spending that goes hand in hand with Supply Side Idiocy.

But as you should have learned this morning, it's not "libruls" doing the spending.

Can you explain why they grew so much more slowly AFTER the tax cut than before?

Increased revenues = revenues lost?

Other than the housing bubble collapse in 2008, and the Fauci flu pandemic in 2000, revenues went up.

What do you suppose caused higher debt when the govt was getting more money?

Hmmmmmmm………
