I have only heard him say he will increase defense spending. Ref: http://www.breitbart.com/video/2016/03/09/trump-i-would-incr...
Here is a back of the envelope accounting of his plan: https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2016/03/07/...
All politicians are somewhat hand wavy about getting costs and revenues to line up. Most don't just completely make shit up.
I've found that usually when people say things like this, as if the conclusion is extremely obvious, it's because they actually can't articulate why they have the position that they have.
Could you better articulate your point? Here's what I know of what Trump has said:
1) Yes, considerably less tax revenue 2) Which is justifiable because of a massive reduction of our military, and because of vague "waste fraud and abuse".
I guess what I'm getting at is: every single politician talks about cutting taxes. I think there is quite a bit more to be said on this topic.
