    Well dont forget you obviously need to cut taxes as well for economic growth, while you run these fat deficits maintaining this “critical infrastructure”.

      I generally find that cutting taxes is more popular with the politicians who think that reducing the debt is more important than a functioning power grid and bridges that don’t collapse. Don’t ask me how the hell reducing tax income is supposed to help with the deficit but it’s probably built on the assumption that the kickbacks economic growth will make up for it.
