    FY 2017 saw the highest annual budget deficit since FY 2013. FY 2018 will be even worse. The only “deals” these parties cut are ones that grow government at your expense.https://twitter.com/justinamash/status/958735622595891206 …

    The U.S. government is now more than $20 trillion in debt. We closed fiscal year 2017 with a $666 billion deficit—the second highest annual deficit of the last five years and a figure unheard of before the Obama stimulus. https://www.facebook.com/justinamash/posts/1672100376162695 …

        The deficit is the amount you pay versus receive in taxes. Democrats have been clear they'd raise taxes on the wealthy. Spending =/= deficit.

        Seriously. Amash kills any credibility he has/had when tweeting about the national debt after voting for the tax bill. If he has a social media team, they need to learn when to shut up. If this is Amash himself, he needs to learn when to shut up.

        You and the rest of the GOP voted to increase the national debt by $1,500,000,000.

        And offer massive tax cuts when we're at war and close to full employment. But you know, blame it all on the spending.

        You are one of the very few elected officials who seems to take his oath of office seriously. Do you really think you can change the downward spiral of the Republican Party? You sure would be a welcome addition to the #Libertarian party. Thanks for all you do.

        And that’s why you voted against wealth redistribution to the top cutting the thing we do to pay down the government we grew so much right? This is just Koch bro rhetoric. Convincing people to cut the things the taxes due for them so the wealthy can spend our taxes dollars

        I don't support that GOP tax bill either, but it makes no sense to say that tax cuts make it "so the wealthy can spend our tax dollars." A tax cut doesn't give anyone anything; it lets people keep more of the money that was theirs in the first place.

        And I’m not totally against the tax cuts. But I am against the idea that you can consider yourself a fiscally conservative person while voting for massive debt

        I agree completely with you on that. I don't have a tax cut fetish. And I agree that cutting taxes without cutting spending when there's already a deficit & massive debt sucks. But it still isn't accurate to call a tax cut redistribution of wealth or the rich spending our dollars

        We allow corporations to purchase government. And the government tells us that corporations get to pay 3/4 less then we do in taxes. I don’t see how that’s anything but wealth redistribution.

        It's not because it's not taking money that some people have in the first place and giving it over to other people. Taxing middle-class people more heavily than wealthier people isn't fair, but it still doesn't *actually* take from one group and give to another.

        Making one class more responsible to pay back debt then another is a way to redistribute wealth. Same with stripping people of pensions and retirement funds. Technically you can say it’s not wealth redistribution. But it’s exactly why they did it.
