Please spare us the Republican Party’s fake outrage about the deficit.

The Bush and Trump tax cuts have cost us an estimated $10 trillion since their enactment.

When billionaires and corporations are getting a handout, the GOP couldn’t care less about the national debt.

@rbreich Repealing the #GOP tax cuts should be the answer to articulate in negotiations and the media. And bring back the 90% top tax rate, and initiate a wealth tax. All these should be obvious. The super rich are robbing everyone else and making the poor fund the country, and baiting the ignorant into fighting over crumbs to keep them too busy to see the truth. #Politics
@rbreich Followed you for a long time. Wondering. How much of the debt is from the massive Reagan tax cuts? I have thought for years now that they would be the largest part.
@rbreich but we do have to talk about the national debt. Wouldn't a more productive conversation be about where all this debt is and to whom it is owed? Don't the American people deserve to understand exactly how much debt there is and to whom. How can we the people govern if we are in the dark about important matters such as this. It should be part of every state of the union address forever. A simple chart saying this is what we owe and at what percentage interest and to whom.
