Your regular reminder that if not for the Trump and Bush tax cuts, federal revenues would keep pace with federal spending indefinitely.
Instead, these tax cuts have added at least $10 trillion to the debt.
The so called "party of fiscal responsibility" is full of it.

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers.
Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us.
Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work.
It was a hoax.
