People arguing for public sector cuts never seem to consider the tax revenue decrease that comes along with an expenditure decrease. You can argue until you're blue in the face about which method is most effective, but I'll always lean to the option that puts more money into more consumers pockets, especially when it comes with the added bonus of better healthcare/education/social services

Public sector money comes from the private sector, so no that is not a strong argument.
