        We can afford the tax cuts if we put reigns on our legislatures to quit adding unnecessary spending. SPENDING IS KILLING US!!!

        US can no longer afford to let people keep the money they earn. The whole bs that tax cuts need to be "paid for" is offensive & ludicrous.

        Perfect time to give big tax breaks to the top earners.

        What top earners are you talking about? Typical liberal response. Listen and read. Small business & lower & mid income earners benefit.

        What does a "deficit if fiat" mean? Just sophism masquerading as semantics?

        It's about 50/50 the amount each party has added to the debt we can't afford anything.Unfunded liabilities are more than the value of the US

        GOP/ Trump plan gives 80% of OUR tax dollars back to the 1% (richest). Hateful and wrong for the middle class. Also adds $$$$$ to U.S. debt.
