This is what I warned about when those debt-financed tax cuts were passed. The economic boom should have been seen as an opportunity to pay down the debt, the fire did not need more stoking. By acting procyclically, you're just increasing inflation and reducing our capability to fight the next recession. The tax cuts will almost certainly result in long term lower economic growth than otherwise would have been possible.
"Do not think that I came to bring peace... I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." - Matthew 10:34
