Wrong - experts are giving that a huge question mark - Tax cuts in 1981 and the early 2000s widened deficits. With the new cuts the Treasury will be burning through cash reserves faster than usual. A shortfall of $136 billion is expected due to the tax cuts this year alone. Conservative estimates are that the federal deficit will increase by $2 trillion in the first 10 years. Very few economists are saying the revenue loss would be fully offset with revenue growth. The people spouting this magical thinking are politicians.
