People keep asking how Trump can get the money for $54B Defense increase and infrastructure and tax cuts. They don’t seem willing to admit that a booming economy with REAL full employment reduces the need for welfare, food stamps, housing assistance, unemployment benefits, EITC, etc.

A booming economy could easily free up hundreds of billions per year just through reduced welfare outlays. This NYT article implies that no matter what happens in the economy, welfare spending must always go UP.

You know what *else* reduces the need for welfare, food stamps, etc.?? A Constitutionally limited Republic.

Get govt off the neck of our Rights and you’d see a SEA of ‘solutions’ over-night
