Then why is Cillizza conflating taxes and spending? You’re making my point.

I don’t disagree with you. Just saying you can’t prove taxes and spending are independent by talking about taxes and taxes.

Oh I see what you mean. That point is more about deficits.

The fitting parallel would've been, "did the GOP need to cut spending in order to cut taxes?"
