The GOP has rolled the dice. If they get 3% or better in real economic growth, then no debt and certain reelection (even Trump). If they don’t, then they are done.
When 90% of the public wants Democrats and Republicans to work together, how does the Republican tax plan represent what the vast majority expected their congress to do?
The debt is not caused by the government letting us keep more of our own money. It is caused by them spending too much of our money. They are spending over 4 trillion dollars this year, most of it on things that it is not constitutionally allowed to do.
@ Ken M. Second grade math: If you were told by your predecessor you were responsible for twelve apples and found out you were really responsible for twenty, would you lie about it also?
They are so proud of their hole, they are going to take away healthcare, make abortion illegal and drill oil in Alaska wildlife preserves, all while increasing the middle class taxes – I wonder who will benefit from all this?

“Dirt” isn’t the ONLY thing the Republicans are shoveling nowadays!

Seems we will be going from a typical debt level to a dangerous one with the new tax plan. …

Dick Cheney says deficits “don’t matter”. So tell that to your banker next time you are overdrawn.
