But that is not really the point.Will add at least $1.5T to the debt without producing any growth to compensate for the drop in revenue. Just like what happened during Bush the Dumber, just like what happened with Brownback in Kansas. Conservatives are a broken record with this deficit-financed tax cutting proposal; they swear this time there will be enough growth to compensate for the loss of revenue. Of course, we have no reason to believe them now, just like we had no reason to believe them in Kansas in 2012, or in DC in 2001.
Never once have Conservative tax cuts ever delivered on any of the promises made of them.
Yeah, apparently the GOP did not learn from their spanking either. This tax plan is not what Trump promised. Not even close.
This plan will do jack shite for the rustbelt folks not paying income tax and living in Ma's old house. But they were never really pissed over taxes because .... aside from payroll taxes, they don't pay federal tax. So, the gop has nothing to really lose in not offering anything to them in the tax cut. Their anger can be directed at immigration and disrespecting American culture.
Even repealing Obamacare and offering a pig instead that cut these folks Opiod treatement with Medicaid didn't really matter.
What matters is getting enough gopers to vote for a bill that benefits the wealthy (with the promise of creating millions of new jobs on a corp tax cut) to give Trump "a win." The actual econ merits of the bill don't matter to the gop so long as they get the pig passed.
