Trump's Tax Plan Will Pay for Itself

Tax cuts do not have to pay for themselves since they cost nothing to begin with

22% of GDP ...

... Ouch!
tax cuts do not cost anything

I can't make it any simpler than that

They might cost a lot. Look at the last tax cuts along with an expensive war. They cost jobs, they cost people's homes, they cost far too much.

the tax cut didn't cost anything.

the spending is responsible

Again, it cost. Just because you don't want this to be so, doesn't make it so.

it costs nothing to reduce revenue

it is the only thing in this world that is actually free

the only thing that incurs cost is spending

the only thing that incurs deficits is spending in excess of revenue

A tax cut costs billions in borrowing.
no it doesn't

the borrowing is done to support SPENDING

But cutting the taxes means the borrowing goes up.
only if you assume all government spending is sacrosanct

I don't make that assumption

We pay around 200 billion a year in interest on the debt. That is the cost of not collecting enough revenue to match expenditures.

and how does that change the FACT that only spending in excess of revenue creates deficits?

you are another who makes the assumption that all government spending is somehow sacred

because the gap between revenues and spending can be closed one of three ways,

1. cut spending down to your revenue level 2. raise revenues by taxation up to your spending level, or.

3. do some combination of both.

You are fixated on the sacredness of only doing number 1.

yes because it is yet another irrefutable fact that the government is THE most wasteful and fiscally irresponsible entity in the country

The problem is, if you owe money, it costs you money. You've already borrowed the money. You're not borrowing it a second time, but it's costing you. If you have a loan, it costs you. You could pay it back, and then it won't cost you, but then you decide to earn less money and reduce the amount you pay back. It's costing you.

No, not at all. You're trying to twist this around, it's not happening.
 
Familyism is even more primitive than tribalism. You richlovers want their Masters' spawn to dominate the rest of us in the name of family values. You're so simple-minded that you think the aristocrats can do anything they want and that we peasants cannot use our government to put a check on their abuses. The pampered snobs selfishly claim they have a right to their Daddy's money, but you pathetic bootlickers make it look like a society based on birth and not worth is the natural order of things.
Well, I grew up with nothing on the Indian reservation; that did not have any influence on stopping me from making something out of my life.
Walking Tall by Walking All Over People on Your Way Up

How does getting it automatically mean you deserve your success? Status quo is static, not dynamic. Whatever is doesn't mean that's what it is supposed to be.

You became a bootlicking Buttboy for the Bosses. Why would the rich let anyone talented compete with their sons? You class-climbed the ladder built by them in a way to make sure you wouldn't give them any trouble. All you ever dreamed of is getting accepted into the Country Club, being patted on the head by the Preppies, and being told, "We forgive you for not being born rich."

Sacrifice has no merit; it is merely brownnosing. Most of all, you believe you have a right to set up your sons (and now daughters) halfway to the finish line instead of telling them to do it the way you did. Therefore, you aren't really proud of the way you did it and don't deserve any rational person's respect.
I certainly don't think the federal government has a right to disperse or redistribute wealth whatsoever.
The Wall Street Kremlin

By GUBMINT!! you Selfists mean the 99%, whose productive value is arbitrarily pre-distributed by the 1% to itself. But your clique owns the mind-control monopoly that intimidates people into believing that the GUBMINT!!! is some outside demon that oppresses all 100% of us, as if we were occupied by a foreign power.

But we,the people, not you the Plutes, own the entire playing field for the next generation and no one has the right to tilt it just because "it's his money." That doesn't allow him to do anything anti-social, which amounts to bribing the referees so his son's mediocre prep school team always wins.
Collectivism always appeals to the weak mind... a fact you just proved.
Owners Aren't Earners

Capitalism is collectivist. The employees create all the revenue and the owners collect it.

paying interest is no different than spending on anything else
 
Yowza!

Maybe, not so much ....

Fiscal FactCheck: How Much Will Trump's Tax Plan Cost?

/---- Written by left wingers. Pres Reagan's tax cut brought in more revenue
 
the tax cut didn't cost anything.

no it doesn't

the borrowing is done to support SPENDING

saying tax cuts cost is the twisting

tax cuts cost NOTHING spending costs

spending in excess of revenue creates deficits

borrowing to support spending creates debt
 

/---- Written by left wingers. Pres Reagan's tax cut brought in more revenue

but the spending in Reagan's terms caused deficits the borrowing to support the spending raised the debt

it doesn't matter how much you increase revenue if you always spend in excess of that revenue

a supposedly small government guy as Reagan claimed he was would have known that
 
2009 deficit (submitted by Bush in 2008) - 1300 Billion.
2016 deficit - 587 billion
How convenient of you to leave out 2010 when Obama's deficit was $1.652 trillion.

That's right dimwit - $1.652 trillion. Does that look like a "cut" deficit to you? :lmao:

If Obama was a president for 1 year you may have a point...but he wasn't and you again simply underscored your silliness.

Other then that your 1.65T number is nonsense. Here is no bullshit picture of deficits under Obama, including components:

10-10-12bud_rev2-28-13-f1.jpg


Notice something? Obama stimulative spending is temporary, but tax cuts passed in 2000s and made permanent under Obama are an ongoing burden on the budget. CBO estimates our deficit today would be 300B lower this year without them.

Well that was short-lived! Once again, Obama has a higher deficit than Bush. Does that sound like a "reduction" to you, liar?

Which President Added Most to the U.S. Debt?

Retard 2016 deficit was 650 billion.

Obama deficits: DECREASED by 1 Trillion
Bush deficits: INCREASED by 1 Trillion

You fail at thought at every turn.

We'll never know. Since this was never a scientifically based experiment. Not only did Reagan cut taxes, he also massively increased spending. It's obvious that increased government spending results in the people they spend it on paying additional taxes. Think cash back on a credit card, ie what's in your wallet. Spend $1,000 and your income went up by $50.

If you want to prove that tax cuts result in increased government revenue, you'll have to do it without massive spending increases at the same time. Just cut taxes, and see what happens. In each case i'm afraid if they cut taxes 10% they would cut revenue 10%.
 
President George W. Bush has the worst economic record of any president since Hoover. He holds the worst performance for GDP growth, stock market performance and job creation of any president of at least the most recent 11 presidents, and is near the bottom of the lists for all of the other measures below
No modern day president has had a sustained economic growth of under 1% like Obama had. If you are looking for the worst president in our nations history Obama is right near the top of that list. We are still clawing our way out of the economic mess he left behind. Maybe we should get some of that $400000 per speech the worthless one is getting from wall street bankers. Told you he was a hypocrite.

Obama dragged us out of the republican mess. Bush was a disaster and he cut taxes.

Democrats created the mess, moron. They are the ones who forced banks to loan money to people who couldn't pay it back.

Sorry, turd, but Obama gets almost full credit for the 2009 deficit.

Refer to the 1921 tax cut. Spending was also cut.
