      It is a question. The deficit rose after the Reagan and Bush tax cuts. If the deficit rises after the Trump tax cut, what will the response be?

      Also, and not to defend Weisman, basically every credible analysis of the bill says the deficit will go up, so its not a ridiculous question.

      Hold up...We cut the deficit in half by the mid-00s, post-Bush tax cuts. Reagan saw massive GDP growth, and don't forget, when we cut taxes by over $700 billion in the 90s, we balanced the budget the very next year...

      Well, we have the answer to my question. Record surpluses in 2000 turned to deficits but then the deficits were cut in half. Clinton tax hikes captured huge revenues from economic boom, but Congress claims credit for a multi-year economic gains after 1 year.
