coffeecrazy, I am just hoping to isolate the conservative/not so conservative nature of tax cuts by themselves, which therefore cause a deficit. Balancing budgets used to be the domain of conservatives, and busting budgets was perceived as the domain of liberals. So, do naked tax cuts make you more or less conservatve than a predesessor that admitedly taxed more than you did, but had a balanced budget.

Of course in my hypothetical I'm putting all the power in the hands of the president, and I should have positied a non-cyclical ecomony as well. These things will never happen, of course, but I think it's a useful question.
