they've been doing that for decades, promising shit while cutting taxes. That's why they always blow holes in the deficits and debt.

There are so many things for many fewer billions to fix. Drop the wall, Trump.

they're talking about cutting taxes on the rich and corporations. To pay for it it will be the same as it always is, our user fees go up and our number of taxes we'll have to pay go way the fuck up. SS, Medicare, Medicaid, meals on wheels, school lunches and on and on will either be outright cut or see reduced funding. How a working person in America can vote for a republiCON is beyond my comprehension.

taxes on the middle class will go up some. Taxes on the lower middle class and poor will go way up. You see he is not lying about tax cuts, it is just not for the people who really need it. Is that explained easily enough?

the Wall will be justified as a national security measure, deserving of every penny we borrow from the future

grants for arts and sciences and meals on wheels, on the other hand...

and then proceeded to wage 2 unbudgeted wars that wrecked economic havoc.

Didn't you know that is how Republicans do things? Slash taxes then go on a spending spree to blame on Democrats?

VOTE out the Republicans in 2018 people.
