The Iran money DIDN'T BELONG TO US.
Trump has spent far, far more than Obama ever did.

And the same government that will “never” cut spending, will somehow never increase it?

Spending ALWAYS increases, just as - pending a recession - revenues ALWAYS rise.
That's what happens when your population continues to climb. More people = more services = more spending.

We're already so deep in debt as a nation - about $20 trillion owed on the federal level alone, due to Washington's insane overspending - that we're way beyond doomed. At least tax cuts give the economy a boost, to break the endless 2nd Great Depression of Obama's reign.

The economy was doing just fine under Obama.

There was no depression under Obama. He brought us out of a recession.

Why should I want to give back any of my tax cut to a wasteful entity? I am not into rewarding their failures. My personal and business taxes dropped, this is a good thing. Cut spending to the bone, deal with the short term pain, and lets get this train back on the tracks for future generations.

You had GOP controlling all of Congress and White House, and what happened? They raised spending. So you tell me how likely it is that you can slash spending on all these things like military, healthcare, infrastructure, etc. if it couldn't happen under the most conservative government in a generation or two.

To cut taxes with no discernable plan to cut spending is irresponsible.

How much money Obama added to the DEBT?
Democrats are going to help with that by pushing medicare for all. That will add 30 trillion dollars to the debt in 10 years and raise taxes for all.
