How Much Is This Tax Cut Gonna Cost Me, Doc?

So perhaps Ryan should have said something like this: “Tax cuts don’t cost money — they save money. Government spending is what costs money. If you think cutting taxes costs money, then you must think raising taxes saves money. By that logic, a 100 percent tax rate would mean Washington isn’t spending anything at all. And that, my friend, is absurd.”
