Yeah, no. Trump and co claimed the cut would pay for itself, yet the deficit and debt continue to grow. Job growth is consistent since 2011 and year-over-year had no difference after the cuts. Same with middle class wage growth - all on the rise since that year.

The tax cuts brought in more revenue than what the US would have brought in otherwise. The deficit is growing because of Trump’s liberal leaning on social programs including the military. There is zero evidence the economy would have continued to grow under Democrat leadership.

Uh, revenue declined. Not sure where you got that stat, but it's wrong, 100%.

There is zero evidence? That wasn't my argument. It also is not how logic works.

Tax Revenue-to-GDP Ratio declined, Tax Revenue on the other hand has increased YOY. Perhaps read your source first before spreading false statistics.

What was your argument?
