According to the Tax Foundation, a conservative group advocating tax cuts, Trump’s proposed tax cut, aimed mostly at the rich, would reduce revenue by $4.4 trillion to 5.9 trillion over ten years.
Trump has also said he would double Clinton’s proposed spending on infrastructure by borrowing hundreds of billions of dollars.
The deficit will soar sky high. He could cut funding to other programs, but most of those have already been cut back. He also proposes to increase military spending, which he had better do to pay for the wars he will get us into.
How do we explain that his supporters aren’t concerned. Here are four possibilities.
1. They don’t know about this, having gotten all their news from Hannity.
2. When someone presents these facts, they put their hands over their ears and chant “la la la” as loud as they can.
3. They don’t know what the words “infrastructure” and “deficit” mean and show no inclination to learn.
4. Who cares about that stuff when he is going to build a wall and deport 11 million people and make America great again.
