Tax Policy Center, one of the two authors of what we are talking about here happened to serve on Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers from 2009 to 2010.

Tax Policy Center—a joint venture of the liberal Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute.

Saying that tax cuts “cost” the government implies that all money rightfully belongs to government.

...

Exactly. Tax cuts don’t cost anything, except in the the corrupt world of the enemedia and big government.

Clinton plan: $1 trillion in new spending, $1 trillion in new taxes

Sacramento Bee ^ | December 22, 2015 | Anita Kumar

Hillary Clinton’s proposals for new and expanded government programs would cost at least $1.1 trillion over 10 years as she looks to pump billions of additional dollars into reducing college costs, increasing treatment for drug addiction and helping employers pay for mandatory family and sick leave.

Okay, let’s take the $700 million we are spending on gay outreach around the world, and add that up times 10 years. Then take the revenues from job creation and welfare reductions. Then abolish Obamacare. That should just about take care of the losses over a decade.

I read as far as “Brookings” ... No need to read any further beyond that moniker. Just more pathetic progressive trash posing as intellect.

It is called static analysis. It is fraudulent analysis because it assumes that people will not change their attitudes and actions if their wealth increases.

Because instead of electing STUPID professional politicians we will elect a successful businessman, and balancing budgets is in his DNA. Trump has been balancing budgets for surpluses (called profits) for 50 years. It is in his blood.

Mr. Trump’s plan, first released in September, would eliminate 22% of federal revenue over 10 years, radically shrinking the government, according to the Tax Policy Center, a nonpartisan project of the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute.

The billionaire real-estate developer is proposing the largest, most aggressive tax overhaul of all GOP contenders. The center this month estimated former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s plan would cut federal revenue by $6.8 trillion over a decade.

Mr. Trump’s website says his plan would be revenue-neutral. According to the center, the limits on tax breaks proposed by his campaign are nowhere near enough to overcome the tax-rate cuts.

A spokeswoman for Mr. Trump said, “Many experts, including [economist and journalist] Larry Kudlow, have praised the plan since its release.”

I understood right away it was a typo. No problemo!
Many times I have misspelled Trump as TRUMO!

“...an analysis released Tuesday found.”

Spreading lies about conservatives pays well.

Trump’s plan won’t cost taxpayers a single dime. It will however, keep the bloated fedgov bureaucracy from looting the economy of $9.5 trillion over the next ten years.

The feds, including all of the dems and republiicans, keep pushing this meme, that somehow tax cuts bad, and bloated government and wastefull spending is good.

And the sheeple are stupid and greedy enough to fall for it.

Trumps tax cuts along with deregulation and new trade laws will have the US economy booming. No one will worry about the “cost.”

Typo’s should be proofed. I am guilty of too often not proofing enough.

It is my zeal for hot discussion of events that almost drive me off the cliff.

The nation is in Great Peril. But we are constantly lied to 24/7 by POLs and the Media.

I apologize to everyone for that great sense of pending danger that drives my life.

I have been accused of latching onto conspiracy theories. I try hard not to, but some of those “are real”.

God Help the US.

If I remember correctly, the Urban Institute is heavily funded by George Soros. They are also the group that handles the e-1099 filings for non profit charities for the IRS.

Anything Soros related deserves a headshake.

I have previous experience with filing e-1099’s for non-profits and know it is done through the Urban League.

I did later find out that Soros is a heavy funder of that group. If you examine what they support and are involved in it is not in line with Texas culture.

Large Urban environments in all parts of the US are troubled with terrible issues. And most of them have been run by the ComDems for many many years. Failure feeds the next failure. Totally corrupted places to exist.

Tax cut plans are meaningless without spending cut plans. I am looking forward to what Trump proposes.
