How would they know what impact a tax cut would have on revenue collection before the end of the tax year?

Yo, Nancy the deficit is on you:

“No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.

ARTICLE I, SECTION 9, CLAUSE 7

“Trump is For The People: lowering health costs and the price of prescription drugs, increasing pay and driving strong growth by rebuilding America, and cleaning up corruption to make Washington work for the people.”

There fixed it! LOL

She forgot to include her husband and Fineswine’s in her “analysis!” They are a couple of the biggest RAT hogs at the Government Trough. Also Nancy doesn’t mention that under Obola the national debt doubled and we still had a $hit economy for eight years.

And, tax reform without spending reform is a fool’s game. Always has been and always will be.

Stop the fedgov overreach and shut down the spending!

Agreed. From the WSJ:

At the same time, government spending rose 3% last year, to $4.1 trillion. Rising interest rates and the amount of total debt outstanding drove up federal interest costs 14% last year from fiscal 2017, or $65 billion. Mr. Trump has complained that Federal Reserve interest rate increases are driving up government costs.

...

We are having to pay interest on all that debt piled up to prop up the Obama economy.

Too bad that the Federal Reserve Bank has hit the Trump economy with 1.75% in interest rate hikes... had they not done this the debt would have been much lower - Obummer benefited from the Fed Policy to keep rates low.

I wonder if our trading partners are having their interest rates raised in conjunction with a renewed American economic surge?

Maybe world rates need to be raised to level the debt playing field?

Why not try a dramatic and novel tactic: PASS A TREMENDOUS SPENDING CUT—NOW! Quit spending money that isn’t in the Treasury. I don’t mean a pledge to reduce the deficit 10% ten years hence unless some Congressman thinks of some way to increase spending in the interim. In this booming economy with this dire debt situation, the Congress should run trillion-dollar annual surpluses. We’re running an annual deficit of $1.216 trillion. What will happen when the Democrats (or dare I say Republicans) go on a spending spree, especially in the next recession? Can we survive our debt, or will our economy collapse beneath it like that of Greece? I prefer not to experiment. ATTENTION Congress: Just say no to spending NOW.

Republicans passed a tax scam...
It's difficult to fathom the low level of a mind that would continue to fall for that particular piece of BS.

I seem to recall that the Democrats demanded an extra $300 Billion in spending be included in the last spending bill. Maybe you should start there Nancy.
