After instituting a $1.5 trillion tax cut and signing off on a $675 billion budget for the Department of Defense, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that the only way to lower the record-high federal deficit would be to cut entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
"It's disappointing, but it's not a Republican problem," McConnell said of the deficit, which grew 17 percent to $779 billion in fiscal year 2018. McConnell explained to Bloomberg that "it's a bipartisan problem: Unwillingness to address the real drivers of the debt by doing anything to adjust those programs to the demographics of America in the future." The deficit has increased 77 percent since McConnell became majority leader in 2015.
New Treasury Department analysis on Monday revealed that corporate tax cuts had a significant impact on the deficit this year. Federal revenue rose by 0.04 percent in 2018, a nearly 100 percent decrease on last year's 1.5 percent. In fiscal year 2018, tax receipts on corporate income fell to $205 billion from $297 billion in 2017.
so that means you must pull over to let some guy by who is exceeding the speed limit or do you make him go around you in an act to not condone his dangerous speeding?
Look, you take one Harvard economic guru who swears to one outcome and his classmate who swears to the opposite outcome. Economics is art more than science.
All the media sponsored economic go to guys told us Trump could not do what he did.
Passing the buck is what it is all about, unless the buck lands in the government coffers, where it is squandered, wasted, legally stolen, lost to fraud.

Stunning to hear that a tax cut is a bad thing.
The optimal word was immoral. How taxes affect your personal satisfaction does not qualify as immoral.
You characterize it as theft. Watching your brother die because you refused to share is far more immoral.
And give to God what belongs to God and give to Caeser what belongs to Caeser. Even Christ was cool with taxes.
What exactly is a 'brother'?
