There are 291 Republicans in Congress, and only one voted against the GOP tax bill because he thinks it will increase the U.S. deficit.
A 12-term congressman from the eastern banks of North Carolina, Rep. Walter B. Jones Jr. (R-N.C.) says his fellow House Republicans have used cherry-picked data and fanciful projections to delude themselves that the plan will not balloon the federal deficit.
“I guarantee you, if Mr. Obama was the president and he put this tax bill in, those deficit hawks in my party would get out of the nests and start squawking,” Jones said. “But here they are, and because it’s a Republican president possibly adding $1.5 to $2 trillion to this country’s deficit, they’re going to stay in the nest and not squawk about it.”

Of course you do. This supports your viewpoint. No different than if I find a democrat that didn't support obamacare or that does support the tax bill. Proves nothing and doesn't bolster your argument at all. Just another opinion and you know what they say about opinions. The tax bill is passed and now only time will tell who was right and who was wrong. Obamacare raised premiums and deductibles across the board just like the right predicted and just the opposite of what Obama promised. So right now it's 1 to nothing. You lose.

Tax cuts do not create deficits, over spending does.

When Congress began abdicating their responsibility to establish a real budget and creating the automatic budget increases has caused more to add to the debt than anything else.

We have already tried this Bud, in 1986 and it led to record deficits. That is why Bush I had to increase taxes. Then Clinton cut cut Defense spending in the 1990's and we got close to a balanced budget. But that was in part to an increase in payroll taxes in 86 .... the 81-82 tax cuts led to higher deficits.

You are wrong. When Reagan cut taxes government revenue increased. The deficit was do to spending. The same will happen this time unless Congress cuts spending. You can't blame the deficit on the tax cut if revenue increases. I have explained this to you several times in other threads but you continue with the same old leftist talking points.

Well dumbfuck, Obama didn’t cut taxes, had a trillion dollar “stimulus” bill and we have nothing to show for it but an additional 10trillion in debt. And it wasn’t because of that mass military complex. So what’s your explanation? I would say a lackluster economy for one. Obamacare two, and an over regulation. You can thank me later. But congratulations, you found ONE dipshit you agree with. Birds of a feather.

if there is a deficit, its due to spending problems, its not a revenue problem. you need to cut spending to get the full benefit of the tax cut.
