    Strangely, not matter what happens with the economy, your welfare checks have never changed or been in danger. STFU.

    Just because you cannot understand the Repub long term policy is to crank up the debt until they can end all social programs, does not mean we do not know what they are doing. They also increase spending claiming our enormous army and military budget are too low. This has gone on since Reagan.
    We spend more than the next 10 nations combined and always need an increase. You don't understand what they are doing. You cannot. But we do.

    It's wonderful that Trump's economy grew this strong to generate $93 Billion in additional revenue. Unfortunately the federal deficit went up to $997 Billion during the same time, so the tax cuts did not pay for themselves. Not at all. Instead, they ended up costing us money and adding it all onto debt and more. Much more. It's a net loss. A BIG loss. Few people get to lose this much money and get cheered for it. Ya gotta hand it to Trump. The businessman who has extensive experience at going bankrupt has us on that same trajectory. But according to his con job it's great.

    Look at the numbers flying by: US Debt Clock

    This can't go on. This is called borrowed time. It's not sustainable like this.

    We need more responsible leadership than this.

    This was just another give-away to the rich. And they stuck us with the bill.

    Come on, people. Wake up and admit you've been had by the rich.

    The tax cuts were for everybody.

    A. Federal revenues are up, just like every time tax rates are lowered. Spending is what grows budget deficits, and the national debt.

    B. Good.

    C. How do you explain unemployment at historical lows, especially for minorities?
    Every life matters

    How "long term" a policy is this? It has been occurring since Regan and Republicans continue to increase domestic spending. Has anyone actually introduced legislation or sought to eliminate any social programs from the budget?

    This claim has about the same level of credibility as the "deep state" or that Mueller was involved in a plot to get Trump. Always easier to make wild claims than seek to understand daily complexities.

    Oh golly gee...what a surprise!
    And after refunds, the IRS collected about $93 billion more from individual American taxpayers than it did in 2017. Interestingly, that number stands close to the tax break amount that corporations received from the TCJA in 2018.

    Last year, big businesses paid $91 billion less in taxes than they had in 2017, prior to the new law’s passage.




    That explains it

    The tax cut was supposed to grow the market.

    The tax cut was supposed to prevent outsourcing.

    The tax cut was the second worst domestic policy failure of the last 20 years (the first being the Bush Tax Cuts).

    Sad...that you appear to be so curious. So curious that you have never attempted to refute the truth concerning TAX CUTS v. Labor Participation. I wonder why? Now...you have "me" curious.

    Conclusion: The left's idea of debate? Ad Hominem Bullshit. Truth: Propaganda can never stand up to the test of DOCUMENTATION. Why do you reason that the left has stopped RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA and replaced the past 2 years of propaganda with new propaganda that will last 18 months, TRUMP is a RACIST, TRUMP is a RACIST.... Just as documented in the NY Times? Documentation is not "refutable"....BS lasts only as long as there are fools willing to purchase it wholesale.


    Thus: Your ad hominem DEFLECTION attempt. To me that is the final buzzer.....when any leftist starts volleying over his left shoulder.....ad hominem Bullshit. GAME OVER...its time for entertainment. Dinner and a Show. That's why I am here......to defend truth and to be entertained. You can tell by all the threads I have started attempting to promote MY AGENDA. You'd be surprised how many great stories I get from message boards such as this....and its totally free, because......THE STUPID "think" they are remaining anonymously protected. Really? Guess who is in charge of the DEEP STATE now?

    "For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed; nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light." -- Mark 4:22

    The patriots are in charge of EVERYTHING....everything that has been documented over the entire span of the previous administration. Thus....Propaganda is all the left has, to actually attempt to refute DOCUMENTATION is an instant death sentence. So....Russia, Russia, Russia, for 2 years....next 2 years.....RACISM, RACISM, RACISM...…….. What happens when an honest headline comes out...such as TRUMP demands unity over RACISM? That particular editor gets BITCH SLAPPED so hard...….there is an instant HEADLINE retraction from the NY TIMES. Go figure. Propaganda v. DOCUMENTATION. What happens when a reporter actually attempts to present the actual TRUTH and be a real journalist? A left wing flash mob....attacks the messenger and demands the message be changed to fit the narrative.

    Now lets go back to the rabbit hole....PISS IN YOUR SOUP? You need further "training" skippy…...if you really are attempting to assassinate any character.....it must be your own.

    Truth: The only "honest" events that now take place in this nation...especially on the left coast? Roller Derby and Pro Wrestling. Really....over 1.6 million voters removed from LA COUNTY alone as registered to vote. I wonder why? If there are some 1.6 million in LA alone.....how corrupt is the entire state? Why does the State of California have 101% rate of registration as compared to the actual population...when the average for every other state in the union is...……..? Nobody knows the actual participation rate...why? No method of checking IDENTITY. Why does California have 101% active voter registration? Because the dead have never been removed from the active rolls...again, I WONDER WHY.

    Sequester spending slashed spending on social programs, and never got around to those military cuts.
