Even a dynamic scoring only brings down the budget art cost of his tax plan from something like 1.3 trillion per year to 1 trillion per year.

Presided Reagan reduced rates much more modestly. You should read up on the Laffer Curve. If current rates are to high, a modest decrease may increase revenues. BUT if rates are lowered too much, the government will not optimize rates but set them lower than the rate that would produce the most revenue.

And that’s great. You may intend for the government to take a smaller bite of the ecenomy. Works for me. I’m a small government guy.

But the if you don’t provide concomitant budget cuts, you’ll run larger deficits.

trump talks about budget savings by buying more efficiently. The problem is that he’s put Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid off the table. And he wants to beef up the military. The problem is, there isn’t enough of the budget left to make up the difference.

It appears that there is no way Trump is going to succeed.

Is there any way that is mapped out that would make it possible for Cruz to reign in the colossal budget failure and make it work where Trump would simply fail?
