The GOP tax proposal brought cries of increasing the deficit, but who or what do we owe the deficit?
Shouldn't you know what a deficit is and how it is created? More importantly the trillions of dollars in that deficit is owed to???
We cannot confuse Tax Cuts with increased "costs " , that is a very partisan Democratic spenders ,typical answer whenever they have a nightmare about tax cuts . The point will be having a federal government that spends less AND takes in less tax revenue .
The extremely liberal view of tax cuts , COSTING us revenue is moronic . Cut programs as you cut taxes , everyone suffers entitlement loss AND everyone personally gains wealth !
It's numbers , anyone can figure that out .
ahorseback
But to whom or what do we owe the deficit. These trillions of dollars that were borrowed from ??
Thanks

Paul Krugman:" Back in 2010, self-styled deficit hawks — better described as deficit scolds — took over much of our political discourse. At a time of mass unemployment and record-low borrowing costs, a time when economic theory said we needed more, not less, deficit spending, the scolds...

The Senate jammed through their version of the GOP Tax Plan the morning of 12/2/17 with only one vote to spare since GOP Sen Bob Corker voted against it. To get 4 or 5 wayward Senators to vote for the bill, various types of pork had to be included in the final version (which was being written...
