President
Recall the GOP dogma on this subject....
1. Cutting taxes increases growth and, hence, increases the amount of tax revenues flowing into our government's coffers, AND
2. Cutting taxes "starves the beast" by decreasing tax revenues and forcing cuts in spending.
Now, if you ever want a prime example of GOP cultism, this is it - sane people know that cutting taxes cannot both increase AND decrease the tax revenues flowing into the government. But GOP cultists argue that both are true.
Downright wacky, no?
