    SS and Medicare are running in the red.
    The services I am getting from them are paid by my kids.
    Sorry. Too subtle.

    Both Biden and Sanders are currently leading in direct matchups against trump in NC, PA and MI.
    trump is barely leading in WI and FL.

    I don’t know why you threw Texas in the picture among swing states, while demographics are definitely changing and it will likely become a swing state in the next decade, discussing it now would be like throwing up California and saying it is a swing in this election.

    Primary voting does not equal voting in the national election.
    Especially when you split one party’s vote among several candidates. Try again with some integrity this time.

    The government didn't lose a cent with the cuts.

    That's been true for awhile...I"m paying for my parents now...the programs are unworkable as is...major reform is needed. Please write your Congressman or Senator and let them know.

    Fed Tax revenue:

    2019 $3.46 trillion
    2018 $3.33 trillion
    2017 $3.32 trillion
    2016 $3.27 trillion

    They should receive and waste 3.7 Trillion this year.

    My point is proven. No loss of revenue even with the tax cuts. Spending is the problem and neither party is held responsible. Americans are too busy fighting among each other.

    No it’s not. Revenue may have increased more without the cuts. In fact it’s safe to assume they would have.

    Wise men argue opinion. Only the fool argues fact. It is a fact that tax cuts did not result in loss of revenue.

    It’s not a fact. It’s a fact that tax cuts didn’t result in less revenue than prior years. But it’s less than it would have been otherwise.

    Revenue changes year to year, you can’t say it only rose because of the tax cuts. And if you can’t say that, you also can’t say it wouldn’t have risen more without them.

    That is not a claim you are qualified to make.

    Why Did revenue go up from 2016 to 2017?

    Bullcrap. Bernie Freeshit Sanders told us all SS was solid until 203w which is two years longer than humanity will exist.

    Stole more? Revenue going up is stealing? So you’re against tax cuts since you claim they increase revenue?

    I did, increased revenue is theft. So you oppose tax cuts because they (allegedly) increase revenue?

    Are you for real? Out of 100 people 60 will be bosses and 40 will be workers? That sounds like a severe worker shortage to me.

    Again, according to the old paradigm it would be. In the new paradigm, we don't care necessarily what sector of society you're a part of. Just that you fill a sector. Also, economically we want new job openings for the coming of age adults(as that has been the major slowdown, due to retirees wanting to hold on due to retirement not being enough.)

    In essence, this is all by design. The entrepreneur class gets bigger, and more people earn more by virtue of being owners of property. Those in the worker class also benefit from less competition than before, and more job openings. So long as we intentionally enable a constant gap, the working society will continue to grow and stabilize at the same time, ending the boom and bust cycle since the 1920's and giving a much needed financial correction.

    Neither Democrats nor Republicans are guided by business theorem. I'm guided by my studies and the research I did while a college student.(Though that ended by 2014 and I admit to not having had new elaborating papers since.)
