And for the little bit I would gain, we will add 1.5 trillion to our debt..... in fact we will add more to the debt per person then I would gain.

This is foolishness.

I suspect that my wife and I will probably benefit, as we don't itemize deductions. We definitely benefit according to this calculator, don't know how legit it is or not.

There is ZERO way for you or anyone to determine the effect on the budget from a tax law that has not been implemented and has a 10 year horizon. You have ZERO idea what impact the 21% corporate tax bracket or the 100% depreciation expense deduction will have on the purchase of machinery, hiring, and business expansion. You are merely regurgitating talking points fed to you by your liberal misers who FEAR the positives this bill bestows on the gears of our economy, and the defeat of their political ideology.

We know 1.5 trillion in additional debt. Thats a fact that the GOP has repeatedly stated.

And we have a TON of examples of history demonstrating what will happen, along with 98% of economists saying it will not pay for itself.

Your argument that there is zero way for anyone to determine the effects is just nonsense.
