It’s all about the Laffer Curve.

OK ... now make some drastic cuts in the size, scope, power, and COST of government ... and maybe we can quit running up unpayable debt.

Federal Tax Revenues Hit Record Highs — Are Trump's Tax Cuts Paying For Themselves?

No, because the monthly deficit for February was the highest recorded as well. Link

Tax cuts without spending cuts are a road to disaster.

Not a ONE rejecting the premise: There is no *COST* to tax-cuts.

Laffer curve, Trickle Down, etc....all well and good but, DAMN, nip that crap in the bud FRiends.

The Rights needs to get into the habit (again??) of being able to explain, in a few sentences, a topic. IE: “You can keep more of YOUR own $$\property. It does not belong to GOVT”. Even ‘Trickle Down’ has bad connotations (not inherently ‘mine’, but a gift from ‘higher’).

/rant off

Although the CBO stayed stuck in static analysis, Steve Mnuchin said dynamic analysis was done. I believe he said if GDP stays 2.4% or above, the tax cuts pay for themselves. Dynamic scoring yay!

Supply Side Economics always works, and Paul Krugman is deeply saddened.

Guess this must say something about the normal Democrat plan.

But remember, income taxes are hardly the only source of revenue for the federal government.

But they ARE one of the only taxes dems/liberals like to talk about. Can't play class warfare as easily with sales taxes...

No, this is below what can be expected from personal income growth/GDP growth. Its a very small %increase.
