If they want to cut taxes and be reasonably sure they don’t increase the deficit, then they need to restore the import tariffs.

The tariffs will generate tariff revenue to offset the tax cuts. And at the same time they will provide greater incentives to manufacture in the US. That would send income tax revenues soaring.

I’m pretty sure Trump gets this, but GOPe and the rats are too busy selling out America.

You are so right Danny, Tariffs protect industry and raise revenue. It's how the USA funded the Federal Government for over 120 years before the disastrous income tax. Allowing imports to come in duty free while at the same time taxing domestic labor via the income tax is evil, wrong and stupid.

Couldn’t they, FINALLY, get a handle on spending, instead of acting like, drunken sailors after a 6 month deployment?

Or is that too much to ask?
