There are budget and economic scenarios where this is true. If we were close to a balanced budget then sure. If we had room for GDP growth without inflation then sure.
But face facts, the amount of GDP growth required to achieve a balanced budget is astronomical. It is simply not feasible. The GOP has preached this mantra since Reagan and I believed it for years, but the reality is far far different. We cut taxes to the point where you cannot overcome the deficit with growth. You must find other, more certain ways to raise the revenue.
The GOP just doesn’t want to admit that it has gone too far for their old policies to work.
