Bringing this thread back on track...
With Trump's tax cuts totaling all of discretionary spending. Where do you see him getting the money for his tax cuts and spending programs? Coming from a CNN article dated 09/19/2016 "The Tax Foundation put out a report Monday morning estimating that Trump's revised plan will cost anywhere between $2.6 trillion and $5.9 trillion. That's still expensive, but it's much less than the more than $10 trillion his original plan was estimated to cost." To put that in perspective The Bush Tax cuts cost 2.8 trillion over ten years. So, Trump's plan has the potential to exceed previous, dubious records set by his republican predecessors. At what point is America going to wake up to the fact that millions of dollars are being extracted out of the economy? Finding enough money to cover for Trump's tax cuts is impossible. He won't be able to do it. To put it in perspective the defense budget is 597 billion, and Mr. Trump has emphatically promised to expand our military.
So, Where is the Money Lebowski?
