The thing is, you are all making a fundamental mistake.
If you lower tax COLLECTIONS without reducing expenditures, and BORROW THE MONEY to make up the difference, you have NOT lowered taxes, you have RAISED them.
The borrowed money has to be paid back with interest eventually. All the republicans have ever done is defer taxes, and by deferring them, they have RAISED TAXES.
This whole tax argument makes no sense, because the republicans always raise expenses and lower collections, which increases the amount of money that has to eventually be paid back thru taxes.
---
Other than that (that the republicans are lying when they claim to lower taxes) there is almost no practical difference in the overall economics and spending practices of the two parties. The primary differences are social and ethical.
