That would be the case if we continued to see the slow economic growth we saw under Obama. A new tech and economic golden age is coming which will boost the tax base and make us unstoppable.
So if the tax cuts don't pay for themselves with growth, you will admit that I am right?
WTF R U talking about? He's a Trumpette. Admitting error is not in the Trumpette play book. (neither is dealing with reality)

It is Donald Trump who mocks my God. Evangelicals have forgotten that.
Bingo.
How does Trump's family, marriage history and infidelities fit in with your idea of a traditional family?

Sure. I assume if China doesn't repossess everything we own you will recognize that I am right, too.
The China thing was a bit hyperbolic. But if the tax cuts pay for themselves with growth I'll gladly proclaim that you are right and I'll even praise the godless Trump for it.
I'm not worried.
Now Mueller has issued an indictment of a Dutch lawyer for lying to the FBI about communications during the summer of 2016.
This appears to be related to Manafort and is part of Gates' plea deal.
Manfort seems to be the key to this whole Russian conspiracy as it relates to Trump.
Manafort is the one person who has not made a plea bargain.
And they keep piling up stuff against him.
We don't know if he has offered any plea deals but we know none has been accepted at this point.
I think they are trying to get crucical evidence on a particular person out of Manfort before cutting a deal with him.

It's not just the tax cuts, it's the war on the regulatory machine and revival of economic optimism that will drive growth. M.A.G.A.
I admit I feel bad for half of the Americans that went out to vote. We have lots of political disagreements here in Germany and pressing issues to deal with (migrant crisis, job growth, etc) but we do not disagree on government’s involvement in areas concerning public welfare and health. Most Germans complain about one thing or another, but not for a second do we take for granted or doubt the universal rights and protections we have empowered on our politicians to provide for us. Sure I pay a lot of tax as a professional and business owner, but our prisons are empty, economy is strong, the wealth gap is minimal, education is paid for by taxes, and by most measures of living standards we have it good.
To us if looks like 98% of America is disillusioned by the opportunity set. Of those, half believes in this trickle down effect (laughable to most economists) and are completely irrational about their gun rights and lack basic understanding of most social issues, especially on a global scale, while the other more reasonable half is still considered as having “conservative” views compared to most developed democracies. I can see why the other 2% don’t want to challenge the system, they are feeding off every other sucker. Perhaps it is time for Americans to think more like a community and form serious expectations for their leaders, instead of electing a bombastic clown to “lead” them all to riches.

Mind your own business, Hans. Germany has caused the destruction of Europe THREE times in the past 100 years.
It was Germany that was intelligent enough to evict Donald Trump's grandfather from the nation. The USA let that undesirable immigrant in. And now . . .

Mind your own business Trumpian. Germany forced Trump's grandfather out of the country. And the USA is now experiencing the full effects of that.
Let's See:
Grandpa Trump: Kick out for dodging mandatory military service.
Daddy of Trump: Arrest for being part of a KKK riot in New York.
Trump: Forced to pay penalties for laundering drug and mob money.

On a somewhat related note - Does Mitt Romney have even one atomic unit of self-respect? "Thrilled to get Trump's endorsement." Even one?
WTF is wrong with this guy?
Yeah, that's really sad. I'm not sure he needed to say that at all. Utah already likes him and didn't really like Trump during the election which is why Evan McMullen ran.
Zero integrity.

As an independent and atheist I'll comment despite not meeting the Democrat label.
Many of the democrats I know are Christians. As an atheist I don't mock your God, but I'll mock the hypocrisy of anyone who calls themselves a Christian, but doesn't live by the teachings of Jesus Christ. The ability of Trumpers to move the goal posts as it relates to morality is quite amazing. What 'God-given' rights are Democrats mocking? Yes, many of us, independents and Democrats, mock you're 'traditional' family bullsh*t. And, finally, most Democrats I know are not against your right to defend yourself, but how about a firearm and a rifle vs. an AR-15? Do you realize the NRA used to promote gun control, before the crazies took over in the '70s? Many of my gun-toting relatives (Dems and Reps) are anti-NRA and support gun control.
Excellent answer.
Trump can break every one of the ten commandments, and as long as he allows guns to remain untethered and spouts something about God once in a while, Christian Conservatives give him a pass. Disgusting.

Well said. Unfortunately, you have a better grasp of our country than many of our citizens.
Pardon our hiccups but we're going off the rails for a few years, maybe a decade or more. Once the leader of the free world and beacon of prosperity and social progress, now a gilded tin-pot oligarchy puppet state to Russia.

Your country let in a million or so rapefugees and your women haven't been safe since. How about you put some pressure on grandma Merkel to fix the problem instead of badmouthing the USA.

The cheap shots are just too easy, so I'll avoid those.
Let's see how well your socialist welfare state works with all those wonderful immigrants you've been letting pour into Germany. To 98% of Americans it seems like you're committing cultural and economic suicide and I'm willing to bet that way more than half of us got that right.
Oh, and on German national health care, I saw a documentary a couple years back where German medical companies admitted that almost all their profits come from the US market because socialist countries squeeze the profit out of health care. Do you know what that means? It means that if the US goes full socialism, then the profits drop out of health care development and all you countries who depend on us will suffer way more than we will because your health care will no longer be subsidized by us.
... and I'll be right here explaining what happened to you, but you won't understand it because you think trickle down is a joke. You don't understand basic economics because you've been insulated from the consequences of your disastrous policies. Germans, amazingly talented and productive people but the source of ALL the worst ideas in the world.
What's an "opportunity set"? Maybe the German/English translator messed up.

DiscoGary, please don't suggest that you represent a majority of Americans. You speak for maybe 20 to 25% of us at most, not 98%.

See, this is where liberals have lots of trouble. They think that lower tax rates mean that the government is ‘giving’ money to people. No, numbnuts, people are keeping more of the money they earned[\b]. It’s their money.
No one has earned health coverage.
The liberal mind at work is a strange (and dangerous) thing.
