This ideological idiocy is why Republicans always cause financial calamities and increase debt.
This is proof that they don't deserve the reputation (lie) of being "fiscally responsible".
They aren't -- they never have been -- they never will be. Never!

Any guesses as to which cut would be bigger? Here's a clue:
1) Capital gains tax cuts benefit the wealthy...
2) "middle-income" tax cuts benefit the small remnant of what used to be the middle class.

I bet Ted Cruz won't make snarky comments about any "money machine" if they cut capital gains taxes.
Because.... tax cuts don't cost anything !!!!! YAY for conservative economic theory !

Of course, this is just a lot of hot gas being released by Pres Sphincter to distract our attention
from the real news of his fatally incompetent presidency.
