If you're a "conservative" claiming it's wrong to cut taxes with a huge national debt, you're doing conservatism wrong. Government doesn't have a revenue problem, but a spending problem.
It is not conservative to equate relieving a heavy tax burden with deficit reduction. That assumes we're a collective, not an individual. Subjects not citizens. That's what Leftists think.

Conservatives recognize taxation as necessary confiscation for vital services at best, outright theft at worst when it's for that which is not vital. Look at the terms government uses like "entitlements" or "discretionary."

These are terms of a collective, not a free society where rights flow to the INDIVIDUAL directly from God regardless of who runs the government. Liberal Republicans like Bob Corker aren't voting against this budger for the same reason Rand Paul is.

Rand was against this scam budget for the reasons I articulated. He didn't betray conservative principles by voting for tax relief first. HE HONORED THEM. He's the one being consistent here, not the likes of Corker.

So "conservatives" who think tax relief should be revenue (meaning debt) neutral, but debt ceilings unconditional, aren't conservatives at all. Or at least not the conservatism I was taught.
But there's a lot of that going around these days.
