Donald Trump's BRILLIANT & Unusual Plan to Lower the National Debt

Dude . How can a 1400 mile wall NOT be expensive ??!.

Dep[ends on what you mean by expensive.

Sure, I cant put it on my credit card, but for the $4 trillion annual budget Federali budget it is trivial.

That's the thinking that got us in debt .

No, it really is not.

The wall will reduce illegal immigration, reducing black market labor which would reduce law enforcement costs, raise average wages, grow the tax base and reduce the costs of incarceration.

This is one of the few ideas that would have a net negative long term impact on our Federali budget debt.

The walls a waste of money and will have little affect .

40% of illegals enter legally . Wall does nothing for that . The cost of maintaining and patrolling the wall will increase law enforcement expense .

Incarceration will explode because trump is rounding up illegals . Splitting families and adding people to welfare cause mom or dad has no been deported .
IF that number is accurate, it means 60% enter illegally. The wall would keep them out.
No rounding up would be necessary. If their welfare is cut off they will leave on their own and why would they not take their families with them? Are you saying they would leave them here to fend for themselves?
 
You're link title proves me right, if nothing else.

It cites that revenue decreased and growth increased when Bush cut taxes, and that revenue decreased and growth decreased with Clinton increased taxes.

You cannot show revenue increasing from a tax increase.
not even close. It says reducing taxes cannot be tied to increased growth. And, it says there is some evidence that a tax on business (not higher incomes) like Obamacare on Subway sandwich shops will decrease biz activity.

The Clinton tax increase was 1993.

Revenues increased yearly through 2000.

Just start charging energy companies on every kilojoule of energy they extract from the public's land. Debt would be paid off rather quickly. Oil, coal, and the rest. Also, all ore taken from federal or state land.

It all belongs to the American people, they should get paid for all of it.

Say Comrade, wouldn't severely increasing the cost of electricity be regressive, hurting those least able to pay the most?

Oh that's right, you're a Communist, you want to crush the middle class and put all but the ruling elite into abject poverty....

'Communist' for you is like your teddy bear. You say it because then you feel all safe and cozy like mommy just tucked you in.

The public owns the commodity, and should get paid for anyone that wants to buy that commodity. As capitalist as it gets.

Your way, of giving away the commodity owned by the public, is in fact the communist way. You want to give away free shit. You must be a Reagan communist.
 
Data does not support either cutting or raising taxes correlates 100% with rising or declining revenue. Thus, there is no direct causation. Both can have some effect or either rising or declining growth. There is no question that at some level public debt depresses, and can even prevent, econ growth. The exact level is disputed. However, if present trends continue, we will have to choose between retaining a military or social security - there is no debate as to that.
