The Republicans have a plan to pay for their tax cuts.

[tycho1572]

The growth in businesses and jobs will eventually pay for any debt.

Spending cuts MUST happen if we are ever going to get a grip on our debt imbalance.
Raising taxes is not the answer without spending cuts of a major magnitude. Unless and until that happens DC is not responsible enough to be the caretaker of my hard earned money.

Period.

Getting rid of tax cuts for filthy rich people that don't deserve them isn't raising taxes. There was no debt or deficit problems before massive tax cuts.

Republicans created debt and deficits with tax cuts to the filthy rich and corporations.

They will get rid of the debt and deficits with tax hikes on the filthy rich and corporations.

So you want to make claim there was no deficits or debt before the tax cut?

Sure there was but your side is just digging it deeper if you cannot see this you're just brainwashed.

So they shouldn't get an ounce of the money their spouse paid in? Okay then.

Clinton didn’t need to make these cuts to balance his books

Clinton presided during the tech bubble. He didn't need to make cuts to anything. However the Republican Congress did make cuts, especially to welfare.

Trumps riding the obama bubble. He didn’t need to give tax breaks or make cuts either.

Hold on to every penny you are in the bottom 80%, particularly if you have or are planning to retire in the future.
But if you are in the top 20%, relax, life is good.
Mitch McConnell Calls for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid Cuts After Passing Tax Cuts, Massive Defense Spending
After instituting a $1.5 trillion tax cut and signing off on a $675 billion budget for the Department of Defense, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that the only way to lower the record-high federal deficit would be to cut entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

"It’s disappointing, but it’s not a Republican problem," McConnell said of the deficit, which grew 17 percent to $779 billion in fiscal year 2018. McConnell explained to Bloomberg that "it’s a bipartisan problem: Unwillingness to address the real drivers of the debt by doing anything to adjust those programs to the demographics of America in the future." The deficit has increased 77 percent since McConnell became majority leader in 2015.

New Treasury Department analysis on Monday revealed that corporate tax cuts had a significant impact on the deficit this year. Federal revenue rose by 0.04 percent in 2018, a nearly 100 percent decrease last year’s 1.5 percent. In fiscal year 2018, tax receipts on corporate income fell to $205 billion from $297 billion in 2017.
Mitch McConnell says deficit ballooned because of Social Security, Medicare, not Republican Tax Cuts

And look at the distribution of the tax cuts, through 2015.

So, if you are in the 80% and in the retirement mode now or down the road, more than likely cuts to Social Security and Medicare are really going to hurt you.
Now consider this, how many Trumpsters and supporters of his fascist party are going to get in the butt?
But have no fear, they don't care if they are getting fucked, Trump and the Fascist Party are like Gods of the World. After all, they are top ending the uber-wealthy, to "make America great again".

Yet when DumBama cut Medicare to help fund Commie Care, nobody on the left cared about those old people.

Show me the cuts. Just prove it.

Tax cuts do not need to be "paid for".

So tell your republican congressman that.

Democrats are pushing for a losing proposition of increasing taxes. It’s why people think they’re idiots.

Trump isn't riding anything. He created this booming economy by himself and the Republicans. It's been two years since DumBama left. Nobody "rides" a bubble that long.

I don't know why I do this for you leftists. You challenge the right on what they claim, and when they provide proof, you just say it's BS. I'm not wasting anymore time on this. Believe what you want; rather what the Democrats tell you what to believe.

He took over an economy with the training wheels on. Things were going fine. You’ll see new boss same as the old boss in fact you’ll lose retirement benefits because of your decision to vote republican.

The middle class will be worse off if Mitch is cutting into social security and Medicare like I hear he’s about to do.

Got to pay for those tax breaks
