The only problem with the "Lower taxes = healthier economy" formula is that, as with all things, there is a limit. If we interpreted this naively, it would mean that the government should never have ANY taxes, because the economy would be so stimulated, wealth production would be infinite.
My point is that there's a happy medium somewhere between lowering taxes to stimulate the economy and raising taxes to relieve a budget deficit--and yes, our national debt DOES matter.
