    Umm Yes Planned Parenthood DOES do cancer screeners and other reproductive health work. My mom found out she had ovarian cancer from a series of tests she got done at a PP clinic. Maybe you should keep your ****ing mouth shut unless you know what the **** you're talking about.

    The problem is that that it is a whole package. Tax cuts can't pay for themselves when Congress refuses to work with the President on passing laws that reduce spending.

    But if progressive, liberal voters would rather pay higher taxes to give illegals healthcare, welfare and free housing; then U.S. Tax payers will have to pay more.

    The President has a total plan. Unfortunately, he has only been able to implement a small portion of the plan on his own. Collecting Hundreds or thousands in tariffs will help offset the costs.

    Big difference is what the tax and regulation cuts did for the economy. It turned a Obama's nine trillion, 90% plus service and part time economy into the hottest economy on this earth, that lifted millions of Americans out of poverty. So as you can see it didn't just help the rich. It gave them an incentive to invest in America again and to move factories back that Obama said was gone and not coming back. Millions of Americans moved out of poverty into the middle class.

    Thanks for a sentence with no meaning.

    Deficits by their very nature don't "pay for themselves"

    That was a gop budget drastically reducing the prior budgets. Yes, the gop reduced the Dems budget and cut the deficit. Thanks for highlighting that. The Reid senate wouldn’t help the gop, as your link highlights

    If the economy is on such a tear and everyone is getting rich, why risk messing it all up with tariffs?

    Second, if the economy is held back by employers unable to fill open positions, wouldn't importing labor help?

    Just curious about your position on these points?

    That's correct; read up on military history, you could learn a lot.

    1) first you need to recognize the fact that your initial comment was completely false
    2) Second - you are completely ignoring the fact that the GOP approved a massive 1 Trillion dollar deficit
    3) You have not substantiated any of the claims above
    4) You are completely ignoring the fact that Trump had both houses
    5) You have moved the goalposts and/or contradicted yourself a number of times (When its a Red administration its the fault of congress, when it is a blue administration it is the fault of the administration - in your irrational world)
    <Mod Edit>

    The idea that Republicans are "fiscal conservative" and that it is all the Dems fault is completely false - FULL STOP. Get a grip.

    Are these record revenues include the new tariffs?

    Even before the tariffs so the claim does not hold water.

    The reason for the debt is uncontrolled and possibly uncontrollable mandatory spending. No amount of reduction of discretionary spending will do the job even including removing all military spending. On top of that as interest rates rise, the interest on the debt could easily reach 1 trillion a year.

    Propaganda Alert!

    Not even Republicans are ready to cut programs like Social Security and Medicare that have the support of the vast majority of Americans.
