This sort of direct comparison works well on reasonable people, I find.

But those tax breaks and cuts generate jobs!

I mean look at all the jobs you'll be cutting if you get rid of them. Look at all the new, well-paying jobs we're getting because of them.

Personally, I would like to see some actual peer reviewed scientific studies and proof that tax cuts and tax breaks generate more jobs than government programs, rather than having to take it all on faith...

But then conservatism is a faith based political movement anymore.

Scientific analysis of the market has as much place in telling us about economics as scientific analysis of the geology and astronomy have in telling us about the creation of the world. Or doing scientific experiments to determine best course of action in fields like medicine or psychology.

That is, None!

It is part of a grand design, and you just gotta have Faaaaaith!!! it'll work out.

Or, better yet, why not get rid of the tax cuts, and then DON'T spend the money and instead use the extra to create a balanced budget?

[pacotelic]

I'm down with that.

Especially since Jeffonomic says that Not getting rid of tax cuts is not revenue. What's the difference then?

[donkeyjon]

He's making an argument that, while correct semantically, is incorrect in practice.
