House leader calls for tax CUTS to pay for Trumps additional $5.8 trillion spending plans

Since it’s demonstrably incorrect at this point, it’s more like purple kool-aid than magic.

 

Run up the deficit, blame it on the dems, rinse and repeat.

 

Can't wait to hear those "conservatives" who complain about the deficit when a Dem is president do their usual perfect impersonation of a bunch of crickets for this $5.8T mammoth fiasco that would undoubtedly get a rubber stamp from Republicans.

 

I don't think its either (because I dont think they even believe it, and only Democrats need to be concerned with deficits), they are just playing the hits like a washed-up band on the casino circuit, yeah a few drunks will hoot when the opening riff hits, and the 60 year old woman will flash her boobs, but its just going through the motions at this point, and everyone else is just rolling their eyes. Even around here, few break out old chestnuts like the Laffer Curve or even try to make some kind of Econ 101 argument.

 

So it isn't that they aren't conservative, it is just that they are economically ignorant.

Got it.

 

Not surprising coming from the House leader of the Party of borrow and spend.

 

No, they know what they are doing. It's their voting base of morons that doesn't understand that tariffs are consumer taxes.

 

A lot has changed in about 20 years. When I was studying economics at UF trickle down and/or supply side was taught to me as a legitimate economic policy that worked. Most every study I've seen since indicates the opposite. I wonder what they teach about it now. @docspor ?

 

Strawman speculation BS. Pure invention, and more than likely Projection.
