Which is all fine, but it kinda gets lost in the nonsense of Bachmann's argument about tax cuts not being a deficit to the government, or something.

I think very few people think we shouldn't be cutting spending (that they don't like) and that it's their money and not the governments (although I've said before that I think it's pretty silly to assume that wages don't adjust to tax rates in the mid-to-long term).
But I don't that makes her comment any less vapid.
