I think it is the opposite. First, grow the economy with tax cuts and people won’t demand so much welfare spending. Then we can cut spending and have more tax cuts

Cutting spending without giving back the money in a tax cut will not help the economy.

Tax cuts don’t guarantee the end of poverty, nor does anything else. Poverty to some point is a part of the human experience.

The ‘dole’ (or welfare) isn’t going to cut spending too much, it’s the medical arena and Fica (ie SS). If we slowly fade away Fica and Medicare (or limiting it greatly)...while promoting savings and investment...say goodbye to the bulk of our foreign borrowing.

I’m just not on the perpetual tax-cut with no spending-cut train. Go with both,...not just one.

Tax cuts and reduced spending would work better, I would think … but what would I know. Don’t give us back anything, just don’t take it in the first place. … but what would I know.
