1) When it suits you, you like to forget that a budget is balanced when revenue and income are (since we're talking government here, we'll just use the term) roughly equal.

A budget balances when revenue and income are equal? Who knew? (Revenue
is income, dimwit.) Though this may be news to you supply-siders, a budget balances when revenue and spending are equal. Acccordingly, when you depend on tax cuts to generate revenue (the fundamental and flawed premise of supply-side economics) while increasing spending, the budget goes out of whack. WTF do you think happened in Oklahoma and Kansas when their Governors went all-in on supply-side economics?
