Revenues are money from taxes, Buck. Not borrowed cash, printed money, or anything else. That's how they're defined. If revenues increase, it's because more tax money is coming in.
The revenues increased. I find it fascinating how hard liberals work to dance around this simple numerical fact with "net" numbers and deliberate confusion of terms.
Another fact, borne out by history and experience, is that money in the private sector does a hell of a better job in creating new wealth than money taxed by the government and simply redistributed for political goals. You can look at the curves of government control vs. prosperity all around the world.
And can you edit that wide picture up above so it doesn't make this page two feet wide?
