While this method does indeed increase total revenue, the economic effect of limiting tax expenditures is the same as it is under any other method of cutting spending on those programs. But the Republicans’ opposition to anything that raises revenue means that this key to breaking the budget stalemate won’t be implemented.
共和党普遍拒绝这种形式的支出削减，因为这会导致税收增加。该方法确实会让总税收收入增加，但限制税收支出的经济效应与通过其他方法减少这些项目的支出是完全一样的。但共和党反对任何令税收收入增加的办法，这意味着这一打破预算僵局的关键永远不会得到实施。
