CNBC: 125,000 Disney employees to receive $1,000 cash bonus due to tax reform

[Tony Stark]

You flip out about $3 trillion over a decade, but were dead silent about $10 trillion over the last 8 years.

Bushs tax cuts were a significant part of that 10 trillion along with Bush increasing defense spending 300 billion a year and Bushs wars.

revenues went up after bush tax cuts.
there is no way to say that revenues would have been higher had the tax cuts not happened because the economy could have been different. Models are not real world.

just like now. If Trumps tax cuts cause more money to be repatriated and more investment and more jobs and a bigger economy Trump tax cuts may cause revenue tax revenue to increase.

We live in a dynamic economy. Tax cuts can cause revenue to go up or down. tax increases can cause revenue to go down or go up. The economy might expand independent of tax policy. Inflation may cause nominal revenues to go up any way.

Bushs tax cuts were a significant part of that 10 trillion along with Bush increasing defense spending 300 billion a year and Bushs wars.

Whats the cost of Libya's and Isis wars vs Bushs wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Bush also increased defense spending around 300 billion a year while Obama left office with defense spending nearly the same as it was when he came into office.

Obamas base budget of defense was $816.7 billion higher than Bush's. $4,121.2 billion for Obama’s two terms, $3,304.5 billion for Bush’s. This doesn't even include Overseas Contingency Operations.
