So prospectively, the tax cuts, both as currently written, and even more if calculated as permanent, constitute the lion's share of projected deficits. To ascertain a spending share, you have to imagine some additional spending, or some deviation from a lower spending path. We do this in highlighting the cost of the Medicare benefit, but that's only $400 billion. The tax cuts account for trillions.
