Not "my side". The side that won.

I carry the crazy, outdated, cynical(?) notion that the "goes-ins" and the "goes-outs" of a non-war-time, not economic-catastrophe, budget should kinda-sorta-like, I won't even say "balance", but how about coming in within a freakin' billion of each other. I have no freakin' clue which "side" that is anymore.

EDIT: My mistake ... it should say "freakin' TRILLION". Or should I say "one million million dollar deficit". Deficit. There's no tax cut that'll provide the economic stimulus to cover that one-year shortfall.

There's no tax cut that will cover itself for any one year shortfall, because that's not how math works. That's a myth the GOP sells to 'Muricans.

Short-term you'd be correct -- no way in a year.

As I said, I hoped for enough (long-term) economic growth to cover the 10-year total. The **** optimist in me I guess.

Hope all you want, that just makes you a fool who is soon parted from your money.

There has never been a single tax cut that has ever paid for itself in economic growth, because in order for that to happen to have to assume grossly unrealistic benefits and ignore things like growth that was already going to occur anyway.

McConnell now says he wants a straight up/down vote on Trump's immigration plan. I'm thinkin' Trump's gettin' the zee-row.

When that happens Mitch gets to control the conversation. I'm thinking that's Mitch's end game.

But back to facts for a minute, how does the tax cut leave everything just fine if they had left spending flat? The tax cut is $1.5T over 10 years added to the deficit without ever touching spending. They would have to REDUCE spending in order to neutralize the effects of the tax cut.

Silly, the tax cut will spur economic growth more than enough to offset that 1.5 trillion. Sic probably believes that, despite the CBO and other economists saying that it just won't happen.

Edit: Annnnd, I see I was correct.

Call me an optimist, but I had hope of enough economic growth to cover that $1.5T gap.

There's no way to cover this Friday night massacre.

Arthur Laffer. Complicit in the destruction of the United States of America.

Laffer is currently an economic adviser to Kansas Governor Sam Brownback, who in 2012 zeroed out state tax liability for approximately 330,000 of the top wage earners in the state

Trump's infrastructure plan: $1.5B ... er, fine print ...

Trump on Monday unveiled a $1.5 trillion infrastructure proposal that would provide $200 billion in federal spending over ten years and require the rest in private, local and state funding.

Democrats last year pitched a $1 trillion infrastructure plan but did not call for any private or local spending, and did not include proposals to pay for it.

Schumer, D-N.Y., said the Trump proposal "falls short,"

Tell the rich to give our ****ing money back. You know, the money from 2008 and the money they have hidden in the Cayman's. That'll pay for all the infrastructure we need.

"Tell"?

Bloody constraint.

Trump in Dec. 2015: "If we don't ... balance up our budget — at least get it **** close and soon — we're not going to have a nation anymore."
Trump in Dec. 2017: " a nation without borders is not a nation."
Does this mean we don't really need the "big beautiful wall"?

"Not a nation" is a favorite Trump bogeyman scenario along with "disaster," "shambles" and "tatters."
