And the share of taxes paid by that top 1 percent actually went up dramatically...
And with respect to the policies, this budget reminds me a great deal of the first Reagan budget...
It is so good to see an administration returning to the policies that work and for the first time in 16 years having a President who actually gives a damn about balancing the budget before it bankrupts the country.
So this isn't theory, this is practice, and it has been practice under both Democratic and Republican administrations, when you cut the tax and regulatory burdens the economy expands.
I believe we averaged 1.5 percent every year for his 8 years. Is that correct?
I think there are really only 2 ways to pay for spending. You either tax it now as revenue, or you tax it in the future as debt.
the President was calling for a government shutdown. And, in fact, he has been bending over backwards to avoid a government shutdown.
What he called for was for the Senate to reform its closure rule on fiscal bills that has completely gridlocked Congress' ability to control spending.
It seems to me, from your report, that the increase in spending is all being driven by mandatory spending?
