Mike, there's only one way that tax cuts will work (and what should be done, regardless)...decrease the size of the federal govt.
I have enough experience in the public sector to know what others know and countless others strongly (and correctly suspect)...that the federal govt has tons of waste. I am not opposed to certain forms of welfare, because there are people who need it - but the size of the federal govt has grown by leaps and bounds over the last several decades, with results that are hardly commensurate.
