I have mixed feelings on the tax cuts just passed. The CBO has stated that the tax cuts would add 1.4 trillion to the deficit. Yes, as a middle class tax payer I feel I could use a break and so does every other tax payer in just about every tax bracket.
I also feel that President Trump is trying to add a large dose of common sense business practice to our government and a business climate friendly atmosphere. I like the fact that if you take the reigns off the economy it will go....
With that being said 1.4 trillion in deficit increase is not a good thing. I prefer we all buckle down pay our fair share, work and grow our way out of this. Tax cuts are not the magic pixie dust some of the Republicans think it is. A common sense approach to taxation and spending is.
Health Care is still weighing down on the economy. I know several if not dozens of people who would start their own business if they were not afraid of losing their health care provided from their current employer.
We have to fix that first and the free market is usually the best option. We need to cut lose the reigns, cut out the middlemen and let the free market provide solutions to health care.

The increase in deficit is based on growth of around 2%. The growth has not been that low since spring. If you wish to pay back the deficit then you have to: 1. Grow the US economy and make things in the US and sell them internationally. Taxing the people that do that will not work nor will rewarding companies that make things internationally to sell in the US - that is the wrong direction. Increasing energy exports is one way and getting internal industry exporting is another. The taxation does stimulate the correct things. 2. Shrink the government spending. This is more difficult as the Defense budget has been cut to a level that aircraft are Christmas-treed for spares, training is dangerously low, and strength is lower than since Pearl Harbour. Entitlements are also difficult to cut politically. The only way out is to not recruit - and that is being done; and look at various areas like Dept of Education with a view to rolling that back to the States. The country was run on credit for the entire 8 years of Obama. And is like a couple in a new house with a pool, two cars, golf club and fitness club memberships and every single thing on credit with all cards maxed out. _stop_ spending and increase income.

CBO models are static and do not consider increased revenue as a result of an invigorated economy. There is not enough money in the universe to satisfy government appetite. Any change that lets the serfs keep a bit more of what they earn is a step in the right direction. Since I live in NY, I’m pretty much screwed, but I still want the shackles taken off this economy.

But of course as the Attorney General is missing - do not expect any legal action.....

We are getting a realllllllly crappy deal in regards to defense spending. It needs to be cut by a minimum of $200 billion. The Chinese are cleaning our shorts worldwide. They own the largest copper mine in the world and the US defends it. We are realllllllly stupid! The Chinese now own most of the mineral wealth in Africa. They own approx 1/3 of the tillable land in Brazil. While we run around the world like a chicken with its head cut off, bleeding wealth all the way. Absolutely insane!

The dynamic CBO model was worse. That is why you don't hear about it. The tax reform will reduce my taxes. But at the expense of my Children's and Grandkids future. I am furious! The bullshit that Congress will address spending later is a total joke.
