Massive tax cuts to the benefit of the wealthy, ballooning the deficit, claiming that it wont effect the deficit because of economic growth. That rarely happens. The money will stay in the pockets of the very wealthy, or go into production overseas. We are due for another recession. A good dose of trickle down economics may be just the thing to kick it in.
