    You may recall that many Republicans said their tax cuts would "pay for themselves" through increased growth/revenues. In the first nine months, they are not -- by any measure.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/15/us/politics/federal-deficit-2018-trump-tax-cuts.html …

        Yes, tax revenues grew in FY2018. But they grew by less than inflation, and by far less than in previous years when growth was much weaker. FY '18 revenue growth: 0.4% FY '16 (W/ much weaker GDP growth): 0.5% FY '15 (W/ solid GDP growth): 7.5%

        So the trickle-down was actually only a trickle? Who would have thought it?

        Yeah, like macroeconomics 101 would tell you tariffs are not going to decrease a trade deficit, nor are trade deficits indicative of unfair trading practices

        Louisiana looked prosperous when Jindal was using one time settlements to balance the budget. US looks prosperous when borrowing to finance tax cuts. It is all a shell game.

        Shocking, trickle down didn't work again. Won't stop the Republicans from doing again. Never has.
