He also past one of the biggest tax cuts in our history, that benefitted the rich far more than everyone else. What is Trump trying to do? Repeat tax cuts that will benefit the rich. It appears stupidity is worth repeating.
His stupidity doesn't end there. He wants to roll back or get rid of Dodd/Frank. Let the banks, and investment houses do what they want. That work so great for us the first time.
Balancing the budget, and reducing the national debt are two different things. What contributes to the national debt is people/businesses/foreign countries buying government savings bonds. That has nothing to do with the budget.

How can you pass a tax cut any better than one that gives money to those that don't pay taxes? How many rich folks got that deal? Did they get a lower percentage rate than the middle class? The tax system is not fair to anyone. The non-performers pay nothing, the middle class pay a reasonable amount and the rich pay way more than anyone else, even percentage wise. How is that fair? Everyone should pay the same percentage, poor, middle and upper class. Otherwise, it's not fair. The only folks that believe forcing the rich to pay ALL the taxes to run the gov are the voters that don't pay taxes.
