So again they demand more position papers from Trump, while everyone else is ok to just skate on by with platitudes.

Well, government revenues doubled thanks to the Reagan tax cuts.

But the Demons spent it all plus some.

Which is what Demons do.

Don’t be surprised if Yellen raises interest rates when/if a Republican takes office - this would skyrocket interest paid on the debt and force austerity. All the candidate better have a workable plan.

National Review Editor Rich Lowry:

"Trump obviously attacks everyone but she’s become a much bigger target, and I think part of what’s going on here is that last debate. Let’s be honest. Carly cut his balls off with the precision of a surgeon.”

Not only that, agencies will quit adding the secret sauce to the unemployment and economic growth reports to show that the economy has deteriorated post election.

Trump is posting Position Papers on issues, so far, so:

1. Immigration
2. 2nd Amendment
3. Taxes

And I suspect more will follow.

He, also, mentioned to Mark Levin about downsizing the whole government.

All the other Yo-Yo's, both R & D just run their mouths, nothing in writing.

I agree; interesting to note that neither the author of this latest NRO hit piece, James Carpretta - a health care analyst, by the way, nor any of the staff of the Tax Foundation, has ever held a real world job in the private sector! Not one of these economic armchair quarterbacks, who do nothing more than consult and support each other as they contemplate their navels.

NRO’s latest Trump attack, but from a new author. The other idiots must be getting writer’s cramp. I notice now it took two of them to write one article earlier today. By the time Trump is president, the whole NRO staff will be needed to write one article.

National Review has beclowned itself in its hatred of Trump. I can understand people legitimately disagreeing, but this is not legitimate criticism, but this is just plain yellow journalism.

Reagan, for those of us who remember, did get tax cuts which increased government tax revenue because the tax cuts promoted economic growth. However, democratic congresses increased spending tremendously. Remember, every time Reagan submitted a budget, Tip O’Neill would pronounce it DOA.

Mark Levin says his tax plan is very Reaganeque, so, I’ll take Mark’s word over some unknown Trump hater at National Review.,

Trump is posting Position Papers on issues...

--with no specifics on how to eliminate the $680B deficit.  The reason he (yeah and all the candidates with him) won't say anything is because then they'd have to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Welfare--

2013 actual  (In billions of dollars)  
National defense 633,385
 
Nondefense:  
Agriculture 2
International affairs ................................ 633
Transportation ....................................... 1,441
Education, training, employment, and social services . 44,226
Health ............................................... 21,531
Medicare ............................................. 583,798
Income security ...................................... 430,653
Social security ...................................... 807,249
Veterans benefits and services ....................... 121,557
Administration of justice ............................ 671
 
Grants to State and local governments for individuals  378,217
All other grants  167,954
Net Interest 220,885
All other 135,188
Undistributed offsetting receipts -92,785
 
Total nondefense  2,821,220
 
Total outlays  3,454,605
 
 
Receipts 2,775,103
 
Deficit -679,502

--as cutting anything else wouldn't make enough of a dent.
