So, let’s see how wonderful it becomes if President Trump loses the election. The Democrats will love spending our money.
Glad you don’t need a tax cut. I do.
(And I agree with you that government spending has long been out of control. But my first thought at this point is President Trump needs to win in 2020.)
Why do you think Trump will lose in 2020? The economy’s humming along just fine and Americans never change presidents in the middle of a good economy. The Dem candidates are mostly crazy and/or incompetent and should be easy to defeat.
So the question is not if Trump will win in 2020 but what his priorities should be. He said he would pass tax cuts in his first term and he has done just that. He also said he would address the deficit in his first term. He has not done that. He said the tax cuts would pay for themselves. Clearly they have not done so. All very well to say that Trump needs to win in 2020 but we also need results. I just don’t see how America can stay great if our fiscal situation is a basket case like Argentina or Italy. We aren’t there yet but unless we do something soon we will be.
My taxes actually went up a little bit after Trump’s tax cuts passed because I could no longer claim as many deductions. I would have been fine with this if it had helped reduce the deficit but it didn’t. If a family has racked up tens of thousands of dollars of credit card you don’t tell them to reduce their income. You tell them to cut their spending and/or work longer hours to bring in more money. Tax cuts now just mean massive tax increases later when the fecal matter hits the ventilation device.
