What tax cuts? The only tax cuts in recent history currently in effect were signed by Barack Obama.
I never said anything about Obama. The top tax rate used to be 70% or more, now it isn't. That's the problem.
Are you referring to prior times when the federal government collected less revenues and spend less money than it did during the Bush administration?
Are you going by absolute numbers? Lol.
No, as a percentage of gross domestic product. I use the charts here.

For instance, in 1965, federal receipts and outlays were 17% of GDP. I wonder if that is what opebo prefers.
1965 also saw a very young population and pretty good private-sector welfare with extensive unionization.
