The Golden Calf of Tax Cuts

Here’s a pretty pertinent point from E.J. Dionne on the latest budget atrocity:
And sane budgeting will be impossible unless the sometimes self-righteous deficit hawks get off their exquisitely nonpartisan Mount Olympus and forcefully challenge the Republican Party’s worship of tax cuts.
In particular, they should press moderate Republicans to act publicly on what they know privately: No matter how much conservatives talk about cutting spending, they will never cut enough to pay for their extravagant tax reductions. That is the lesson of Monday’s budget, and of every budget this president has put forward since Sept. 11, 2001.
