    The Repubs have been running up the debt since the Civil War. It is what they do.

    No, you don't compare to the previous because circumstances were different in the previous. The deficit has increased by 17% this year and Trump hasn't begun to keep his major campaign promises. He is leading us into recession and you are too gullible to see it.
    You are getting your info from Fox News.

    This just goes to show how stupid Donald Trump believes his base is.

    A major tax cut in 10 day?

    Of course, he just made that up, and all the suckers with their MAGA hats really are dumb enough to believe it.

    Congress won't be in session until after the election. So there will be no tax cut in ten days. There is not tax bill on the table. Nothing. Trump will forget about it the day after the election. And all the right wing bloggers and AM talk radio types will manufacture some new outrage to distract the faithful from realizing that they're being conned again. (they have a lot of practice at this).

    I realize that most Trumspters have no idea how their government functions, and Trump counts on that ignorance and gullability from his base.

    So true.

    Trump is a Complete IMBECILE.

    Obviously, Trump counts on ignorance and gullibility.

    If Trump's voters had any idea about "how their government functions", Trump would've never been elected in the first place.

    Ignorance is bliss.

    A Major Tax Cut in 10 Days?:roflol:

    And some people actually believe the BS spewed by that MORON?

    Donald Trump?:roflol:

    That is what I said. They barely got a tax cut when the overwhelming benefit went to the rich while Trump and his stooges kept proclaiming it was a middle class tax cut. Now he is basically admitting ir was a fraud by claiming this time he is really going to cut middle class taxes.

    Actually the liberals aren't the ones swallowing his endless lies. The latest Trump funny is he knows there are Middle East terrorists in the immigrant caravan but doesn't have any proof or any evidence. That one was so hilarious that even Pence couldn't lie and back Up Trump's claim.

    The Left just swallowed Obama and Clinton, et al's, endless lies. Unimpressive.

    As for the tax cut middle class working Americans received it's a whole lot better than the tax hikes that Dems are only capable of offering.

    We'll see how they vote on the upcoming proposal - I'm sure Dems will have a litany of lame excuses why we shouldn't be able to keep more of our money and should fork more of it over to them, instead.

    I think that he will say that he will present it to Congress for approval when they convene unless he tries for an executive action.

    The obvious reason is that Trump is just ballooning the deficit while increasing spending. And this is just a ploy to try and buy votes. There isn't even any proposal or legislation and after the midterms it will all disappear as just another unfulfilled Trump campign promise.

    It was a nice taxcut, got the economy booming, but now as the tariffs kick in and all that money starts flying into the US Treasury, Trump is simply making sure that the Middle Class has the funds necessary to drive this economy to the 5% growth that we are capable of, Silly!

    There are a lot of reasons for the proposal and your narrative has nothing to do with any of them.

    It also appears that the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee disagrees with your other claim:

    If Democrats were concerned about increased spending - and they're not - they could work with Republicans to cut the fat in our over-bloated federal government, but we know they'll never do that. All they can propose is more spending, more taxes and more of the debt they pretend to care about.

    Kudlow says they are working on it, I didn't get the sense he was certain about the 10 days either, but, this is most certainly a goal of Trump's and clearly it's fools that tell Trump he can't accomplish something, the clowns lined up to declare it impossible that he would be President when he announced, yet there he is in all his Orange Glory.

    As the Tariffs kick in and all those funds are rolling into the US Treasury, the Middle Class may need the taxcut so they have the money to drive this big beautiful US economy to the 5% growth it's capable of.

    The growth rate has decreased as has the Debt as a percentage of GDP, but, as the tariffs kick in a lot of middle class income is going to be rolling into the US Treasury, which will require an immediate Middle Class Tax Cut so that the Middle Class can drive this glorious economy to the 5% growth it's truly capable of.

    You're a recession lover. The clowns have been predicting a recession since Trump thumped you guys in 2016.

    Isn't it funny how progs oppose tax cuts?

    What kind of imbecile would oppose taking home more money in their paychecks?

    If they cared about the debt they would be screaming for spending cuts and perhaps a Balanced Budget Amendment, but you don't hear a peep about any of that. All you hear are proposals for more taxes and more spending and more of the debt they've never cared about.

    What I find hilarious is that they try to sell their demands for more government handouts and redistribution schemes as something "altruistic" when, in fact, they're just trying to line their own grubby little pockets with other people's money. :lol:

    Very true, thanks to Mr. Obatard contribution it has become self fueling and is now consuming a generous bit of our budget! Repubs complained, sequestered to know avail.. Now all we can do is spur the economy, take back manufacturing and hope we get everyone working, spending and paying payroll tax..

    Because tossing pennies at it wasn't going to change a damn thing!

    The old con, " Mr Obatard:" reduced the deficit by 25% never really meant jack other then the monster he created simply grew a little slower is all ;)

    Love your logo. They want a recession. The trade in misery. Happy prosperous voters vote Republican not Democrat.
    They are all ensconced in cartels and government jobs, they could care less if don't do well, they view us with disdain, which we heartily return.
    Trump has already reduced the Debt to GDP ratio and no, they don't give a damn. They know taxcuts lead to prosperity and prosperity leads to Republican voters, so, that's that.
    Well, while they are screaming about a taxcut, Kamala-toe is hawking a $500/mo guaranteed monthly income. They want to take our money, then hand it back to us, and us to respond with appreciation for them giving us back our own money.

    Trump runs circles around them!

    I guess that there are a lot of experts on the economy that you describe as clowns. As the tariffs kick in, another Trump bribe will only help a little, not enough and only temporarily. Trump is writing checks to offset his poor policies since he never admits a mistake. Try reading some history books on economic downturns and what has caused them. I am hardly a recession lover but I know what causes them. I guess ya can't fix stupid, yes? How is he going to fund the "wall" that Mexico is going to pay for or his infrastructure promise,
    his elimination of the national debt promise, his cheaper and better health care promise, his shoring up Medicare and social security promise, his tax reform (not tax reduction) promise? How is he going to eliminate the national debt and keep all these crucial campaign
    promises? Through osmosis? Wave a wand? Have any of you considered this? What a bunch of fools the Trump flock is, yes? Just
    go with the flow. That is exactly what the working middle class did during the Clinton presidency and then the recession hit and they lost everything. History repeats itself.

    A tax cut results in less money going into the treasury, and you will be in the same position as before as tariffs eat you for lunch.

    The tariffs go to the Treasury, and then I'll use my tax savings to pay the tariffs, Silly! And of course for some moronic reason we subsidize postage rates for the Chinese Commies. Trump is ending that and that money goes right to the bottom line. And the clowns claimed that the Federal government can't do with a dime less, while they were subsidizing postage for the Chinese Commies?

    You guys will believe anything!

    We are getting 3rd quarter GDP numbers, this week, I believe. What's your forecast?

    Yes, a bunch of clowns.
    Keeping more of OUR OWN DAMN MONEY IS A BRIBE? Now you are claiming what the clowns claim.
    Which one was caused by taxcuts?
    So what causes them, genius?
    I don't know, are you still broken?
    Mexico will pay for the Wall!
    He's already slowed the rate of growth of the National Debt and he has already REDUCED the Debt as a percentage of GDP.
    They are in as good a shape as they were when Obama left.
    Done!
    Obama asked that, he said these jobs weren't coming back!
