You can lower debt, rebuild infrastructure, and cut taxes all at once. How much money do you think it costs for some of the things they do?
Nope. Current level of revenues covers mandatory spending plus half of the discretionary spending. The entire defense budget is half of the discretionary budget. Infrastructure rebuilding would be more discretionary expenditures. If we cut taxes, further reducing revenues, it would only add to the deficit.
