So, wait… Trump’s tax cuts DIDN’T pay for themselves? They just let the ultra-rich finance their wealth on the backs of working people? And now those same supporters want to cut social security, Medicare, and the social safety net?!

Ya don’t say.

Donald Trump Built a National Debt So Big (Even Before the Pandemic) That It’ll Weigh Down the Economy for Years

@AmishSuperModel Enabled by news stories that treat GOP claims seriously.

The US Patent Office rejects perpetual motion machines. Self financing tax cuts should be treated similarly.

@gavinisdie @AmishSuperModel For some it is not just about doing better than someone else, someone else must actively be doing worse so they can feel better about themselves...

@AmishSuperModel If only we had some heuristic or historical precedent that would let us guess that something that we refer to by the name "Trump" wouldn't pay its bills, right...?
