Looks like that article is a year old and we were just at the beginning of huge cutbacks during the fiscal year.

so instead of shoring up revenues, republicans doubled down with even bigger tax cuts and give aways to corporations.
Hard to believe but they cut revenues back some 15% on revenues that were already 10% short. -15 + -10 does not = 0
As my senator likes to tell me "the growth will make up the difference." Give me some of what he's smoking.
