    CL, you beat me to this topic. I can't believe that anyone from the right would fall into arguing that false narrative. You can't pay for something that you never get.

      Yeah, I'm tired of the false arguments. I don't care who makes 'em, left, right, doesn't matter ... We're doomed unless we force the truth out of everyone. Especially out of those bastards in government!

    It's all about language CL. Tell people enough times that the tax cut is going to be on borrowed money they start to believe it. The only way it is borrowed money is if the government doesn't cut spending and that is the lie of it.

      Exactly, it is a language game. "Paying for tax cuts", the world famous "baseline budgeting" where a cut in the rate of increased spending is called a "cut" in spending.
