    Chief architect of the Dirty Donald Tax Cuts for the Wealthy is finally admitting what ALL DEMOCRATS have known all along, his tax cuts for the wealthy are not paying for themselves.As the deficit balloons daily.He' s now saying it will be 8 to 10 years before we see the savings??As the debt quickly climbs toward 23 TRILLION.By then he'll probably be long gone out of office.

    Record federal revenues. The debt is caused by the mandatory spending which is the majority of the budget. Mandatory spending are all the freebies given away.

    Democrats have promised not to do anything about it.

    Right now their plans mean they would have to double everyone's taxes to start paying for their unicorn farts so a lefty that supports these clowns complaining about the debt is funny.

    As the tax cuts widen the iincome gap between the wealthy and the working class!!The tariff costs have already far outstripped any tax cuts the working class may have received.

    Maybe you were unaware...but abortions aren't paid for with tax money.

    Add that to the list of things you think you know but don't

    Just a reminder. Tax cuts don't have to pay for themselves. The object is not to benefit the government. The object is to benefit the taxpayer.

    So we need to cut taxes, but it will take 10 years to break even. But it didn't work. So we need to cut taxes, but it will take 10 years to break even. But it didn't work... And so on... An endless loop. That's the Republican agenda.

    Why do we have to break even? Cutting spending is a good way to cut the deficit.

    I think cutting the little items in the budget won't do much of anything.

    Tax revenues are up SLIGHTLY

    https://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2018/aug/17/patriot-news-alerts/did-us-have-record-tax-haul-after-trump-tax-cuts-s/https://www.politifact.com/punditfa...-have-record-tax-haul-after-trump-tax-cuts-s/

    Newsflash...tax revenues always go up unless we are in a recession...which means that they ARE ALMOST ALWAYS RECORD TOTALS

    The tax cuts did NOT bump revenue...in fact they decreased them from what they would have been.

    Whatever the tax rate is, we have a spending problem. If my expenses go up, I cut discretional spending. Our spending should be cut to whatever spending is during a "government" shutdown. We should have no such thing as a "nonessential employee". I'm through with voting for tax increases. It has to stop and it never will until government controls their spending. I will always vote for lowering taxes. Government can fix their deficits with spending cuts.

    It doesn't matter if tax cuts "pay for themselves". It's the people's money; they earned it. Government is just confiscating it.

    The people should be allowed to keep their money.

    The GOP religiously claims their tax cutting will pay for itself and it NEVER DOES.It didn't under Reagan or Bush and it hasn't under Dirty Donald.

    Abortions cost nothing close to what they save in Welfare, not even the price of a birth.

    Illegals make America money

    Dirty Donnie will be costing us big time long after he's gone but that's OK, it will remind Americans to never again vote Republican

    You're gonna wish he had been impeached and rue the day you "won" in 2016.
