"Trump's tax cuts will lower the deficit."

How does bringing in less money,
by lowering taxes,
while spending more,
lower the deficit?

If I earn less,
and spend more,
my debt will surely go up.

1. Exactly

The key to being a republican millionaire is to max out your credit cards and zero out your checking and savings accounts and quit whatever job you have and get a part-time job at Burger King and just sit back and watch the millions roll in!

(I mean you will be living large and eating like a king on food stamps and unemployment alone!!!)

2. You got further than I did.

After hearing her give the same non-answer 3 sentences in a row I changed channels as I normally do.

Her explanations are "as clear as mud", as my mom says.

3. Her "non-answers" are her answers

Trump said he would hire the best minds.

4. If you mean the best vacuous minds then

he kept that promise anyway.

5. Classic Doublespeak

6. The follow up question should be...

If that is true, have you asked Don to reduce your salary?

7. Predicted increase in economic activity

The usual explanation is that they produce increased economic activity which generates more tax income. It's never actually worked out that way. They usually point to the Reagan tax cuts, but they ignore that he ALSO deficit spent heavily, and that was what caused the increase in economic activity. (Gee, stimulus works, what a concept!)

The economic growth would have to grow and stay at somewhere near 3.2% which would be almost unheard of, and create serious inflation pressures.
