The Federal Government is spending a lot more than it receives in taxes. The responsible adult thing to do would be to lower spending and/or increase taxation. This was the Republican position prior to our election of Donald Trump.
So what are we proposing to do now? Substantially cut taxes and significantly increase spending for military, veteran benefits, and infrastructure. Totally irresponsible.
The chart below shows projected deficits before the proposed tax cuts and new expenditures were proposed.
