Original Note:
Reducing government expenditures does not require increasing taxes, it simply requires lowering spending by cutting services, reducing headcount, or cancelling social programs. https://fee.org/articles/6-places-to-start-cutting-federal-spending/ Also, increasing taxes does not always increase revenue because of deadweight losses. https://www.nber.org/digest/jan00/how-government-spending-slows-growth
