“Writing in The Washington Post, Fareed Zakaria recently called the GOP tax bill the worst piece of legislation in modern history. Why? Because, he claims, it will starve the federal government of the resources it needs for public investments in infrastructure and research. But Zakaria’s assessment is misleading. He is right that a budget crunch is now underway and will intensify in the years ahead, but the primary cause is not tax cuts.
Left out of Zakaria’s account is the role that runaway entitlement spending is playing — and will continue to play — in squeezing other government programs. If his main concern is inadequate public investment in annually appropriated domestic accounts (sometimes called “domestic discretionary spending”), he should focus his ire on President Obama and the many other Democratic and Republican politicians who have favored consumption-oriented entitlements at the expense of all other public priorities. Left unchecked, entitlement spending will overwhelm the federal government in coming years — with or without the GOP’s relatively small tax cut.”
