Tax cuts don't increase the debt; overspending does. Government revenue almost doubled after Reagan's two tax cuts.

The debt did not triple.

Congress spent, on average, 2.8% more than Reagan asked for.

Every balanced-budget Reagan submitted to Congress was declared DOA by (Democrat) Tip O'Neill.
