A rise in the debt does not correlate with a cut in taxes. It is not as simple as you make it out to be. Every time taxes have been cut in the past, from JFK to Reagan to Clinton, revenues to the government have increased. Every single time! The reason that we have deficits and this debt is that Congress outspends that additional income. The reason that Congress spends too much is that we don't have a balanced budget amendment. We don't have a pre-set amount that they are allowed to spend. That's like you ignoring the fact that your income is $300k and deciding to spend $400K anyway. You do this year after year and you develop a huge debt.

The plan has lowered the rate for corporations so that our corporations can compete with corporations in other countries. Corporations were deciding to do business elsewhere because they couldn't compete while being based here. We've already had several companies return and invest here. That translates to more jobs. That's simple.
