How can anyone argue that tax cuts didn't cause the debt?

Look at the numbers. It is OBVIOUS that the Bill Clinton tax rates would have raised revenue much more than the W Bush rates did. Is it just Fox News talking points regurgitated by those too dumb to care that their facts are not in synchrony with reality? Or is there something I missed besides the fact that Bill Clinton governed over the best American growth ever and W Bush the worst since the 1930's?

If spending did cause the debt, isn't that all the more reason to vote for a Democrat president committed to balancing the budget anyway (not Obama)? A Republican Congress with a Republican president added a new benefit to our most financially challenged liberal program: a Medicare prescription drug benefit. Bill Clinton's major domestic accomplishment was welfare reform.
