    It would. be nice if they made an effort to get our trillions of debt down to billions and then millions.

    ((hugs)) Couldn't have said it better myself but you know they won't. Tax cuts result in less money to pay what y ou owe so you borrow money and thus debt increases. Tax cuts yield less revenue and spend rises to accommodate building up the military so the deficit gets worse. No one cares. They just give it lip serve and pretend it matters when it clearly doesn't. Go figger! Thank you for your reply m2c.

    Actually  tax cuts result in more revenue...because they result in more jobs and more wages so more people are paying into the treasury.

    That is the theory that you guys keep trying to sell us m2c.  I  didn't buy it before and I surely don't buy it now. Nice try though. :(

    It worked under Reagan's tax cuts. This post was edited by my2cents at September 17, 2017 8:46 AM MDT
