    You can't find a more perfect distillation of liberal budgetary theory than "tax cuts are spending."https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1153761367696035841 …

    You're such a clown. You voted for a massive tax cut which is entirely new deficit spending. You're a liar and a fraud and you also have bad hair. https://twitter.com/RandPaul/status/1153753564336050176 …

        welllll unfortunately, the notion that they're *not* spending has led to trillion-dollar deficits that crush us in debt. They're spending in the sense that they need to be paid for elsewhere.

        In practice, Republicans and their supporters say "tax cuts aren't spending" and then they cut taxes and keep spending the same. I know you say you don't support that, but that's what Republicans actually do.

        If an elected chief of police reduces robberies, is that an illegal bribe to get votes?

        Rand Paul is complaining about "a nearly trillion dollar deficit and $22 trillion in debt." The idea that revenue is not connected to the deficit/debt is, well, a perfect distillation of conservative budgetary theory.

        “you voted for a tax cut that you knew would increase deficit spending” would be more technically accurate, but the basic idea is the same. So you win on a technicality?!?

        Pretty sure he means extending the national debt. He's not really wrong

        Not what it says. It says tax cuts are *deficit* spending. And while tax cuts aren't literally deficit spending, they do lead to deficit spending. So he should have used "lead to", fine. The math works out the same tho.

        They really do think it’s the government’s money that they allow citizens to have.
