I approve of the tax cuts, but I would like to see real spending cuts too. Let’s eliminate a lot of frivolous programs and even good programs that cost too much. We’re in debt close to $20T; we cannot afford everything that’s “nice to have”.
Don’t actually shrink government. As much as I’d like to, that would produce a voting backlash where the lazy slugs on the left would actually all show up at the polls. Just set the growth rate to zero. Let the military, immigration enforcement, and other functions that the federal government should be involved in grow only with funding from dumb, wasteful, or unconstitutional programs that have been eliminated.
Economics is as much about psychology as it is about numbers.
How confident are people that they will have a job next month, or next year becomes a factor in their spending habits.
President Trump projects confidence and people respond.
Trickle down economics work. When someone goes out and spends those extra dollars, the merchant benefits as well as the suppliers and their employees. Those extra dollars roll through a community making everyone’s day a little better.
Of course this is bad for the Democrats so they will try to stop it however they can.
