There is the other side of the equation - too much spending, too much national govt, too much revenue going in. Many depts in need of being shut down.
I don’t think Trump is as concerned about the national govt leviathan, as some other conservative candidates.
Just to be clear, I didn't post this article because I support Trump. However, I do support the political instincts of the people that his campaign attracts. This includes people who may not care about deregulation of the financial services sector but who want something done about immigration and social collapse.
Fiscal conservatives should focus primarily on cutting back on the welfare state, because so many of our cultural problems are at least indirectly a consequence of welfare. Without a bloated welfare state, we wouldn't be as attractive to Third World immigrants, and our inner cities would not be the world of squalor and violence that we see now. Fighting to save every special interest tax loophole (Nordquist dishonestly tries to portray elimination of loopholes as "tax hikes," which they are not, they just force certain classes of individuals to pay the same taxes as everybody else) won't accomplish any of these things.
We have seen time and time again that cutting tax rates increases Federal revenues. It worked that way for Coolidge, JFK, Reagan, and W.
There - fixed.

You’ve got to be kidding. He’ll clean house. Remember, he is a businessman, forever watching the bottom line and being frugal. That’s why he is a dealmaker, to get the best and least costly deal. He will apply that same frugality to gov’t. He will start with the VA. Trump will cut waste where needed and will spend where justified or worth it, such as on Vets. You will be happy about what he will accomplish. And Trump is high energy; he will take a meat cleaver to any impediments (and to any gov’t officials who get in his way too, lol).
