Trumps plan limits certain tax preferences and deductions, it does NOT include any reductions in federal spending.

As a result, the Trump plan increases the federal deficit over the next decade by $10 trillion or $12 trillion on top of the $10 trillion increase in the federal deficit already projected under current law.

Trump’s plan should offset its huge tax cuts by similar reductions in federal spending. Yet, Trump’s plan contains no such spending reductions.

We cannot afford an additional $10 trillion in national debt from tax cuts without a related proposal to constrain federal spending.

Yours is more Cruz shortsightedness. If Trump causes the economy to take off, there will be $trillions more coming into the treasury. With limits on spending, we should start paying off our debt. Do you see the light now?

Trump's plans will decrease spending in other areas. For example, just by deporting illegals and addressing that whole mess, federal expenditures will decrease by billions.

Trump does not need to specify in the tax plan where cuts in spending will be made, when those cuts are implicit in his other plans.
