also, recall that the balanced bugets resulted from tax increases and some budget cutting, followed by economic expansion. this showed that large tax cuts were not incompatible with economic expansion, no matter how loudly republicans like to assert the opposite, and the balanced budget resulted mostly from the economic expansion and the tax increases, and very little from the budget cuts, which things are a matter of record and not theory
