President Kennedy passed the largest series of tax cuts in the history of the United States. You cut taxes on job creators in order to create more investment. This is basic math, it doesn't even require a calculator. You reduce spending, to reduce deficits and debt. This is what every single family has to do when they want to stay within a budget. Again, not hard math. Returning money to those who paid it, does not create deficits. Spending more than you make, creates deficits. When you give people their money back, they typically spend it.  When they spend it, jobs are created. I've explained this so that even a leftist can understand it. .. Don't forget to Spay or Neuter a Leftist- Bob Barker
