Tax cuts work only if there's a corresponding decrease in government spending too.

True, but give us the tax cuts anyways. We taxpayers can use it.

Most of the tax cuts they extended were goofy things like for solar panels and arcane things like tax credits on sales taxes for people who live in states without an income tax.

If they wanted to win real brownie points with the voters, they should have scrapped all of these piecemeal items and passed significant tax reform.

A tax cut without a cut in spending is really just a deferment.

Why? Tax cuts do nothing but complicate the tax code more & the extra revenue gets wasted on big government programs.
