That is an important topic for Republicans, right?

This board and others care every 4 years during a Democrat Presidency.

Less government spending could lower it.

We've been told for 8 years it doesn't matter, why do you care now? Simply, identity politics is the answer. Just look at the libs trying to pawn off Obamacare to Trump after years of them touting it was the best thing ever.

This plan is a recipe for massive increases in the deficit and TOTAL debt. It is utterly irresponsible. It is a $2 trillion boom to major corporations and their stockholders many of whom are foreign investors.

Here ya go, via Trump's alma mater Wharton:
quote:

The study, which relies on the Penn Wharton Budget Model (PWBM), found that the deficit would increase by $1 trillion to $3.5 trillion over the course of the first decade, based on differing estimates of how the final plan will look. By 2040, the plans would cost between $2 trillion and $10.6 trillion.

Reducing the deficit through taxation is the wrong approach and misidentifies the problem.

Not a single person who spent the last 8 years screaming about the deficit gives two shits if this has any impact on it.

If the tax plan reduces taxes for middle class workers, those people would now have more disposable income leading to consumers spending more money with American businesses, which creates a broader tax base through job creation and wage increases, which leads to fewer people relying on welfare programs. Plus new jobs (new income to be taxed) from companies moving operations back into the US and hiring here instead of overseas.

I have been repeatedly assured by this board, that the majority of folks on welfare could find a job, they just choose not to.

can reduce deficit by revenue alone. have to cut spending


if we raised taxed today to match spending, we would have to raise taxes again next year because spending is growing faster then GDP.....

Jug Ears doubled the national debt in 8 years.

Added 10 trillion to it, and what do we have to show for it today?

dims don't care about the national debt.

Again why does it matter now? I know because it's not your guy.

On January 20, 2009, when Obama was sworn in, the debt was $10.626 trillion. On January 20, 2017, it was $19.947 trillion.
