INTERVIEWER: Bush raised total federal outlays about 60 percent in 2010 dollars.
Stockman: That’s exactly right. So now we’re at the point where we have this large welfare state that seems immutable politically and this expanding warfare state that both parties seem to want to fund. In that environment, you’re kidding yourself if you think cutting taxes today is really cutting taxes. We’re simply deferring massive tax increases into the future, unfairly and immorally putting huge debt burdens on future generations, and that is just wrong.
