We were told it would pay for itself. Was that a lie or are the current economic numbers being faked?

Pugs would step over a dead baby for a tax cut. They don't give a damn the cost.

It was a lie. The GOP never grows up or accepts life beyond their lemonade stand where their parents paid for the lemons and sugar and the money was all theirs. They don't see their government as the means that pays for the road to their lemonade stand, the police that kept those roads safe, the government that forced line of sight requirement and speed limits, the money that they get is real and the bank accounts they keep it in are safe. They sit back and wonder why the government wants their money and fantasize about a place where all those things still exist but they get to keep every dime. It's a fantasy devoid of accounting, responsibilities or consequences, which is why the GOP got so conned by a reality tv star doubling down on the fantasy and advancing it.

Let's not forget that our military is not only there to protect us from foreign threats, it also exists to protect our business interests around the world. That's a big bill.

When you don't pay taxes, it doesn't feel like your money being squandered as you make out military look like mercenaries for monarchies.

Yep wtf, our soft power comes with a price, but of course the bumble fuck Trump gets that wrong too, that's the one place we get the most bang/security for our buck and more than worth the cost. "These countries have to pay more!" he rants. No dipshit, if we pay the most, we keep the power and the decision making capabilities.

Bringing in record revenues, so I guess it's working. In the second term we can start the cuts.

You can't wrap your head around it because you are a fool. Hope that helps.

We'll see how the red states like austerity. They deserve it mind you, there must be consequences for being so easily taken by the con.

I would like to see real tax cuts for people like me and pretty much everyone on this forum. I would like to see the gazillionaires finally pay their fair share. How they get dotards to shill for them is fascinating...
