The biggest lie is the last one:
We've only had a #BalancedBudget twice: Pres. Johnson (DEMOCRAT) balanced the budget in 1969; Pres. Clinton (DEMOCRAT) achieved a budget surplus from 1998 to 2001.
Not to mention #SupplySide (aka "trickle down") economics is a failed myth.

Zohran says NYC has erased a $12 billion budget deficit in part by taxing the rich

Congress does not seem capable of operating within a budget, so maybe it’s time to take that option away. Make tax rates automatically set by the budgets they pass and let’s see how they react when they face the voters over what they spend money on.

The last time the federal budget was balanced was under Bill Clinton. He eliminated 426,200 federal roles during that time to achieve a surplus. But I guess since he was a Democrat it was different. Right? RIGHT?

Note: #balancedbudget approach is dangerous full stop, b/c it systematically misreads recessions, misdiagnoses their causes, and routinely worsens the very economic contractions it claims to fix.

If you underfund an agency, leading to its not performing well, the solution is not to defund it further. In the case of the IRS, removing a dollar means it collects $7 less in revenue.
