Are the Politicians Really that Dumb?

I often hear politicians, mainly Democrats, say that tax cuts have to be "paid for". They don't seem to understand that tax cuts grow the economy and it is always in order to cut unnecessary spending and to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse. 

The key point is that if we make these politicians install cuts, hold the line on spending, eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse, eliminate hiring and wage increases on the governmental level for just three years, we would have a balanced budget.
