Tax cuts are entirely appropriate.  As for the debt, it's time to pass a balanced budget amendment.  It's also time to apply the Constitution to every single "program" the federal government has.  If Congress hasn't been given the authority and power under a strict ( Framer intended) reading, it goes.  Nobody has a "right" to any social justice, or welfare program run by the federal government...and nowhere in the Constitution has the Federal government been authorized to provide them.  There should also be an amendment to the Constitution that ANY law Congress passes must state the Article, Section & clause authorizing it, and also HOW or WHO is to fund it.  (The "unfunded liabilities" put the debt to shame!)
