    I still laugh when I see this thread. Will Trump balance the budget? Of course he won't! He's a free spending Republican which means he's not all that different from a Democrat (which he was for almost his entire life). The main difference between a free spending Republican and a Democrat is that they'll throw in some talk about tax cuts and they cut from different areas and add to different areas than a Democrat would. Essentially the only difference.

    Cutting budget is important, until those cuts hurt you. And good timing on this...

    GOP has been the party of debt. Now, they don't even pretend.

    So... here's how trump wants to pay for those corporation/wealthy people tax cuts...



    Not surprising, but trump ran on the promise of not cutting medicare and medicaid (and social security). Another broken promise.

    Even the republicans won't touch SS and Medicare. That is political suicide.

    Will Trump balance the budget? LMFAO

    Estimated 5-8 trillion lost on his Tax Bill.

    Trump's proposed budget is the largest in history, 25% more than the budget has even been and this is after passing a tax bill that will substantially decrease government revenue.

    #MAGA!

    Massive cuts to state plus uptick to military: increasing probability for major warfare. Economic boom! (If we win, and after massive devastation and loss of life).

    Massive cuts to EPA: back to the era of pollution and burning rivers and expanding impacts of climate change. YASSS! Who doesn't want that?

    Cuts to medicare that only offer piddly dents in the overall debt: cruelty! A deeply American tradition from the 18th and 19th centuries. YASSS! Getting back to our roots, people. (Real roots, y'all... not that corny, weepy TV show.)

    This is what Trump wants, by putting poor into more hardship they will resort to crime as they lose the ability to pay rent. Then he can use that to increase police and prisons to fight more criminals while blaming the crime rate on Black Culture

    Give the top bigly tax breaks, costly trillions. Cuts billions from the bottom. Debt still balloon.
