Economic question for Republican Morons: |
|
Listening to some fucking clown on TV talking about how government borrowing cannot stimulate the economy.
His solution: A 5% across the board tax cut.
Question: How is that paid for?
I would guess government borrowing. But maybe I'm selling this dim-wit short... maybe he plans a simultaneous 5% across the board tax hike to pay for it.

so that the corporations can rule unimpeded. They love tax cuts because they defund the system, that's all.
***edit***
You can't forget about funneling money to the wealthy, that's the other purpose of their entire economic view.

a 5+% cut in all government provided services, excepting military related contract spending. Thats generally what they want to do. That or just end social security or public education.
