So which of those entitlement programs has increased its spending by a trillion dollars? The tax cuts are the only thing that changed enough to explain the deficit increases. Just as they always do, such tax cuts decrease revenue and increase the deficit. In a few years the normal revenue increase will resume, most likely at a slower pace than before the tax cuts and the Republicans will start to crow about how the tax cuts are increasing revenue.

He didnt say any one entitlement but as a group.
Look at the budget and you will see we are talking huge numbers. How much gets spent on illegals that continue to pour into our country ?

We could always RAISE taxes on those who are benefitting the most to pay for stuff?

Revenue did not decrease. The increased deficit was due primarily to large spending increases.

Social Security and Medicare (Part A) are not affected by tax cuts because they operate on payroll, not income, taxes.
