Donald Trump’s Plans Don’t Add Up. Do Voters Care?

The GOP candidate's tax plan will dramatically raise the debt, not decrease it



Quote:
Rather than accept that, Mr. Trump brazenly promised to pay off the debt in eight years. He has now out-supply sided the original supply-siders with a tax-cut-centered program that his campaign claims more than pays for itself. Sam Clovis, his policy director, told a conference Wednesday that Mr. Trump’s plans would generate a $4.5 trillion to $7 trillion surplus. He claimed they would generate $7 trillion in new revenue by raising growth from its 1.4% average of the last decade by two percentage points
Mr. Clovis’ analysis is riddled with holes. The Congressional Budget Office projects $9 trillion in deficits over the coming decade. Adding Mr. Trump’s tax cut would make that $19 trillion. Even if it generated $7 trillion in new revenues, that doesn’t turn a $19 trillion deficit into a $7 trillion surplus.
A campaign built on deception to let the billionaire donor class gain more influence and power. Coupled with his supreme court nominees, it appears he has no intentions on getting citizens united overturned and unlimited corporate influence banned from politics

Nearly all of Trump's proposals look like they were copy and pasted off of some right wing think tank website, though you should take his "proposals" with a grain of salt...he literally retracts his statements daily so nobody really knows what the buffoon will actually do if he got elected, though it would not surprise me if he were to crater the US economy just like he did his business "empire"

Trump takes it to an extreme and ludicrous level. His tax plan is pure toilet paper at this stage. The goal of the tax plan is to ironically turn America into Mexico; a plutocratic system where a tiny ultra-rich elite hold all the levers of power and a vast underclass working for starvation wages and is steeped in crushing poverty. A low tax country with legalized corruption and elites living in heavily guarded enclaves. The ultimate dream of the plutocracy.

Nothing that Bully Trump or Crooked Hilliary says matters. Neither has any intention of doing anything other than enriching themselves and others in the Oligarchy. The only difference between the two is which Oligarchical Faction gets the $trillions.

However it would be more fun watching Uncontrollable Unpredictable Trump in the White House for four years calling everyone in government Stupid and Crooks. It will be the first time in history that a politician will be telling the truth.

Last I checked, nobody's tax plan added up. I think voters are resigned to nothing happening until it is too late.
