No, not a flat-out win. All objective analysis of the Trump/Republican tax plan say it will add at least $1.5 trillion to the national debt over ten years. That's anathema to fiscally responsible people, people who actually care about federal deficits and debt. Oh, but I forgot, you so-called "conservatives" only care about deficits and national debt when it's a Democratic President in the WH.

"all objective analysis" being ONE study by the tax policy center, a left wing think tank.

The politically incorrect truth man is that the middle class is already getting a really good deal in our current tax system.

Well....that's 7.5 trillion less than Obama added to the national debt in 8 years so at least it's an improvement

If you assume ZERO growth.

And, considering Obama added $10 trillion to the debt in 8 years, I don't have a problem with this even if true (which it is not)
