Olsen, in fact, stresses repeatedly in his answers that there have not actually been tax cuts. Instead, the so-called cuts, he says, are actually a "grandchild tax" because future generations will have to spend more of their tax dollars to fix the deficits incurred during the previous six years.
Bishop, R-Utah, argues that the tax cuts need to be made permanent because it helps the economy when people "keep more of their hard-earned dollars." The deficits and tax cuts are not "inherently connected," and by letting people control their money the economy will eventually prosper.
Both candidates agree that a part of the problem is that the government continues to spend money beyond its budget.
