Just another con man trying to con the American public into believing that this tax bill will be good for all of them rather than just for the elite 1%.
Even before Republicans had written a bill, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin insisted that their tax cuts would more than cover their own cost with economic growth. “Not only will this tax plan pay for itself, but it will pay down debt,” Mnuchin said in September. Despite this being comically implausible, Mnuchin promised that a crack team of analysts at his department was already looking at the economic effects of various proposals. The bill would be scored by the Treasury department, he said. What’s more, they would show their work. “We have over 100 people working on this, and it will be a completely transparent process,” he told CNBC’s John Harwood at one point.
In fact no one was working on it.
We have a government run by psychotic liars thanks to Republicans.
Mnuchin claimed that the administration had already published a study proving that the bill paid for itself, though Treasury could not actually point to any such study. … It was, in fact, a one-page news release containing no actual analysis or data, just fairy dust.

I always worry when the equation doesn’t balance or it does but one of terms is “a miracle happens”.

Evidently, even Trump Disciples do not believe that these tax cuts for the rich will pay for themselves.
At least none of them will claim they will.
It appears they are afraid to discuss the legislation at all (except for the occasional Hatred of Obama/Hillary/Nancy, of course).
