That would depend entirely on what programs the money was being spent on, and what rate the population was being taxed. In the case of running up debts, it depends on your ability to pay it back and the potential impact on future generations. Neither of these scenarios can be examined in a broad sense to say "this one is better". They really need to be analyzed in the context of an issue or scenario to address a problem.

Its not whether or not taxes have to be raised. The IRS collected more this past year than ever before. So you see the tax cuts did cause an increase in revenue its just the was it is being used. We need to cut the size of the government and get it out of our everyday life.

Considering that raising taxes that caused a recession was the problem in the first place I would have to go with the former.

Huge debt for future generations (While spending the money on a war for corporate profits).
History will remember the Bush years as the Plundering of America.

The second (running up huge debts).
I wish conservatives would explain how President Clinton delivered years of economic growth with higher taxes & higher interest rates, but Bush could only do it with lower taxes and the lowest interest rates in almost 50 years.

It doesn't matter. They both happen simultaneously. No increase in taxation can support the atrocious spending of the Federal government.

Huge debts for the future generations.
