What was the impact on the economy of these tax cuts as to the deficit? Certainly not $1.5T given the economic stimulus generating more tax revenue. Could have been a deficit reduction that was buried in the overall deficit increase.

Perhaps things might have been mismanaged more under a Clinton administration, maybe not. What proof is there regarding these missing billions? A GAO report would be a nice reference point.
