I did read them. If someone says 2 things, and you say one of them has to be a lie, you are technically calling that man a liar.
But ok it was a misunderstanding so let's leave that part of the argument behind.
I don't say they are not mutually exclusive, I say they don't have to be. The cuts don't even have to be the same size.
If I take away 1 tax cut, and give everybody a new tax cut, I have done both, and depending on the amounts and specific number involved, you can come out ahead, not notice, or come out behind.
