It is not tax cuts tat cause the deficits. It is out of control government spending by the left in an effort to buy v**es at the people's expense.
The deficit was created by phony wars lost funds to the government thru tax cuts. Republicans passing bills and laws unpaid for.
Government spending is controlled by the House of Representatives. The last 25 years the republicans have had control over the House for 19 years and Dems 6 years so where is the logic the Dems are to fault for government spending.
So the right wing agenda was to give a permanent 19% tax cut to the upper 1% and a cookie crumb temporary tax cut to the poor and middle class. Create a $1.5 trillion deficit and did not address government spending first and you blame government spending that is under Republican control. How about Republican corporate give always. Why do you ignore this. You call Democrats Socialist well how about the Right wing under Bush giving $750 billion in tax payer funds to the banks that screwed the same people that are bailing them out.
Then you scream socialism when Obama loaned and the word is loaned not give away to the car industry and saved them from bankruptcy and they paid it back.
Now let’s address government what programs or agencies do you want eliminated. We have a clean water act and a clean air act and the very agency that monitors these Acts Trump has decimated over 3,200 EPA officials have quit and Trump can’t replace these people. So nobody is monitoring clean air and clean water.
Do you want to eliminate Medicare, SS, Medicaid, CHIP, the ACA, how about the US having the largest military and defense capabilities than any free country in the world by 10 times over. But yet we have the largest military by far the US spends $811 billion dollars plus, over the course of a year the second closest is China at at $143 billion.
We actually have 10 aircraft carriers the rest of the world has 10. The stealth technology with our subs is massive you just can’t go up against the US stealth technology when it comes to US subs. There are 8,400 Attack helicopters the US owns 6,400 of them.
We own all the satellites that guide GPS. Can you imagine going up against the US if we shut those satillites down and only the US could use them every military in the world would be flying blind.
So do we need 1,000 times the lethality from our closest adversaries or would 100 times be suffice. Cut that defense spending, not build a foolish wall. The Russians have it right they have advanced there cyber hacking and found a wonderful thing i***t Trump supporters believe garbage and propaganda and created a major division of the American people that get advance by 80% of these hypocritical evangelicals that are all about a white society and nothing else matters.
But the Republican’s have always been about increase military spending using scare tactics and all about corporate tax cuts why blaming entitlements when if you combine the funds lost thru corporate tax cuts and military spending it does not come close to entitlement spending.
So what government spending do you want cut.
