Look at revenues in the 1980's they went fro 500B to 900B, almost double.

And spending went from $591 billion to $1.253 trillion, too.

And also note the 1960's $90B to $190B.

Spending went from $92.2 billion to $195.6 billion.

Increase in revenue from tax cuts, when it happens, is never enough to offset the increase in spending.

The go-go '80's happened with comparatively high interest rates.

We've already seen a bump in growth, just from "hope" in Trumps agenda. Add lower taxes AND low interest rates, and look out.

Just heard a few days ago, that DHS now says that illegal invaders have dropped 60%, from 40% just a few weeks ago. DHS' numbers WERE 700,000 invaders a year. 700k at 60%, that's 420k less invaders a year. Add to that the amount that self deport or federal deport and job numbers will explode.
