Tax cuts add nothing to the debt unless there is a PRIOR SPENDING ISSUE.
Politicians who spend in excess of the budget should be held personally responsible for its repayment. Do you think those spend-thrift idiots would live within the budget with that type of restraint?

In 2011, they helped contribute $1.1 trillion to the debt. In total, since 2001, the CBO calculates that tax cuts have helped add $6.1 trillion to the debt.
