Spending doesn't justify more taxes

I think most agree we spend too much, and were already spending too much prior to the tax cut.

so knowing this, we cut revenues anyway. then increased spending some more. we need to be reducing deficits when the economy is above trend

If tax revenue is flat with a tax cut, it is a home run. If revenue is up, it's so far past a home run, it's crazy to discuss.

taxes grow with a growing population & economy, as does spending

because of that, what you said isn't true in the way you say it. i'd say that if tax revenue is flat *relative to what it'd have been without the tax cut*, it is a home run
