The economic expansion has been at it's slowest rate in a long, long time.

I assume that this $1.5 trillion number comes from the CBO which is almost always wrong. I don't know why we keep sending bills to them to be scored. They don't consider any growth that may occur by growing the economy at a faster rate or bringing jobs and companies back to the US by lowering taxes.

CBO numbers assume that everything will stay the same.

Every time taxes have been cut, from JFK to Reagan to Clinton, revenues to the government INCREASED. The problem is that as revenues increase, Congress spends at a faster rate than the revenues increase.

This is all part of their re-election scam.
