And that is by design.
Norquist planned this out decades ago.
When no one wants to cut the budget, that is the problem!
What’s the result of Trump’s tax cuts - especially those for corporations which went from 35% tax to 21% tax?

Meantime, Trump also wants the IRS to change the definition of a word, so that he can do an executive order and give the superwealthy a bit of relief from their capital gains tax.
Changing the definition of a word to change a law - I had thought only the Russians were that despicable…
There are so many danger signs from the abomination of a president. This is just one of many.

The economy is the lifeblood of our country.
It’s very telling - and sad - that a discussion of the actual health of our economy has only about 60 posts…

What does that mean?
When no one wants to cut the budget, that is the problem!
When one side wants to cut revenue while simultaneously increasing the budget, that’s worse of a problem.

Increasing the budget isn’t that big of a deal if it’s within a certain percentage of our GDP and revenues rise to offset the expenditures.
I read it… It’s a bunch of conflating BS… = faker news…
Everyone claims “fake news” when they read something they don’t want to believe.

LOL Both are bad! Increasing Taxes is not the solution either, because even if you confiscated the entire wealth of the top 10% earners, you wouldnt even put a dent in the budget. We need to start living within our means.

That’s not even remotely true. Not saying we should do it, but the top 10% of earners pooled net worth more than puts a dent in the budget. The Walton family is worth 140 billion. That’s just them.

Yeah, the top 10% have like an aggregate net worth of over $56 trillion…
Actually if you confiscated the wealth of the top 10% of Americans, you’d pay off the national debt about three and a half times over.
Damn it.
