Once again we have a Republican president that gets praise for his cutting taxes, giving the average citizen a few dollars more per month, and his fat-cat buddies a big break, all the while adding to our national debt and deficit tremendously. Sadly, much of our population cares only for themselves, not the nation. As long as they have a few more dollars to spend on their toys, they are happy, and to hell with the future.

Because it's a tax RATE cut, there's more incentive to work. They predict minimal tax surplus losses. There's even a possibility that tax revenue increases. Either way, it's best to analyze economics at the base level.
Look at the the net exports equation. Net Exports = (Savings - Investment) + (Taxes - Government Expenditures). Even if there's a public sector deficit, the private sector can offset that deficit if the net savings is large enough. This means a tax cut could be strong enough to balance current account. While there may be some inflationary consequences, a tax cut is a great way to stimulate the economy without worrying too much about public debt.

Republicans are likely to ignore the debt until Democrats regain power, then they will use it as an excuse to block their agenda. The FED could create money and pay off all foreign debt tomorrow if it wanted, we'd get some inflation... however I suspect it woudl be worth it.
