But I trust Trump to do it.
No one ever accused the President of being a fiscal conservative. Tax cuts stimulate government revenue as described by the Laffer Curve, but the demand for free government stuff does not enjoy the inverse relationship to that growth in income.
Fiscal conservative has become a meaningless term when used to describe the government spending.
When Reagan was President he was continually accused of creating massive deficits.
Reagan cut taxes, rebuilt the military and attempted to reduce the growth of government spending despite being continually sabotaged by the Democrats.
Reagan’s tax cuts helped to grow the economy and his rebuilding the military helped win the cold war.
Reagan’s attempts to reduce the size of government were sabotaged by Democrats, the media and some liberal Republicans.
Trump has done the same as Reagan. He has grown the economy, rebuilt the military and is trying to reduce the size of government.
