Yep. That may sound confusing but here's an example.
Imagine you run a car company. An engineer tells you that if you spend $500 more per car on the engine, you can eliminate the transmission which costs $1000.
It will cost more money, but it will save money elsewhere through elimination of costs.
Do you know the cost of child poverty alone? It's about $1 trillion per year.
We can stop spending more than $1 trillion if we start spending less than $1 trillion. The trick is to get government bureaucracy out of the way and just trust people with freedom to spend on what everyone as individuals feel is most important, instead of what govt thinks.
Did you know that the government has not one dollar to give that it hasn't taken from someone else? If the government stopped spending 1 trillion dollars, the economy would boom. There would be less taxes and everyone would be much better off. Why give those savings back to the government just to have them give some of it back to us? It makes no sense.
Did you know that 97% of the money supply is created by private banks out of debt? Does that make sense to you? Money is a public good. It shouldn't be created privately for profit, and with interest so as to require constant growth.
As for your dislike of taxes, if the government stopped paying for welfare, the economy would crash. Markets require spending within them, and poverty is bad for business. It would also crank up the cost of your premiums, and there would be much more crime.
Look around you at all the evidence of supply-side economics. It's a fucking joke and the only ones laughing are those at the top who have tricked you into believing the unsupported beliefs you appear to hold so dear.
