Agree.

My question still is, how can we spend more, cut taxes and expect that equation to work?

It seems counter-intuitive to me.

Yesterday, for the first time recently, several GOP Congresspersons broke from the ranks on this budget measure.

I actually asked a conservative Congressman (the party affilliation doesn't really matter, but he is a Republican) a few years ago how he could explain the budgetary dynamics of a tax cut while we were participating in an unbudgeted war.

At least he was honest and said that he didn't know the answer to that either.
