Every honest and intelligent economist or true progressive who's done their homework knows exactly what this is about, from cutting vital government services to doing away with capital gains and estate taxes, and everything inbetween.

Next question - or would you like me to elaborate on this ?

The Senate hasn't already worked that out ?
They could rush this through and have Chump sign it before
Rachel, Anderson and Tucker can say Happy New Year.
You think a speech from Bernie will stop this ?

All these cuts will cost trillions in reduced revenue. The GOP is telling us a fairy tale about how growth from the cuts will make up the deficit but they know this is nonsense. It has never worked in the past and all the economists who testified about the current plan agreed that it wouldn't happen. The Republicans are planning a debt crisis in order to gut Social Security and demolish Medicare. This tax plan isn't dumb, it's evil.

he connection between tax cuts and trade deficits is not controversial. The mechanics are straightforward: Republicans are proposing to reduce federal revenue through a $1.5 trillion tax cut without a commensurate reduction in federal spending. To pay for the tax cuts, the government will need to borrow more dollars, some of which will come from foreign investors. Foreigners will get those dollars by selling more goods and services to Americans, which will widen the trade gap.
