Belinda Townsend · Answer 2

The answer to the question is letter D. Tax cuts will stimulate the economy, eventually bringing in more tax revenue.

The increased government revenue from a faster-growing economy would be enough to compensate completely for the short-term costs of a tax cut, and that tax cuts could cause overall revenue to increase (that's a fact).

Some advocates of the supply-side economics claim that tax cuts ultimately led to an overall increase in governmental revenue due to stronger economic growth.
