Government tax Revenues are at record highs. So it can be argued the tax cuts helped not hurt.

But spending increases even more.

Bingo. Failing to reel in overspending has been my major disappointment with President Trump so far.

I would like to see him tell Congress that they pass a balanced budget or he'll veto it. Let the Democrats and RINOs own the shutdown if they don't.

The article is confusing and makes contradictory claims, but there's no question that tax revenues are down if you exclude tariffs.

The tax cuts are great! As expected, got industry and the economy booming and put people back to work. And as you stated, revenues are up and are apparently building a surplus. Give it time. Now we must get serious about cutting spending and cutting government. But with the dems holding congress that won’t happen. Every bill they send up will include massive government spending. They must be DOA in the senate or POTUS must veto, even if the government gets shutdown. No more bluffing. It’s now or never. If the dems win in 2020, it’s over. Their socialist green new deal will do us in.

Yes, and secure or close the damn borders already!
