A response to my letter to the editor argues that I was missing "nuance" about "why" revenue and spending increased over time. I get 200 words in a letter to the editor, not nearly enough space to get into every detail of budgetary policy. I did not say that federal revenue grew only because of tax cuts. The letter invents an argument I did not make, and that claim should have been edited out.
