“Tax cuts” mean cuts to taxes

“Tax cuts” mean cuts to taxes
Tax cuts means you have to find the revenue lost to the cuts elsewhere , Trump is hoping that business tax cuts will lead to higher employment and increased productivity , that is not always the case.
With the spending plans he has it's a high risk strategy.

Then perhaps he's right to cut that tax , the question remains where will he recoup the revenue lost ?
I hear him speak of the middle classes and tax cuts for them so I guess it will be the poor who will bear the burden instead of the obvious targets like the bloated military and offices of local government.
Perhaps if everyone paid the tax they were meant to pay life would be easier.

Is Trump alright?
Because who would say something to soldiers at a front..
U.S. President Donald Trump gave a bullish Thanksgiving address to troops overseas on Thursday, hailing progress in Afghanistan and against ISIS, and telling them they were fighting for “something real,” including a stock market at record highs and his promised “big, beautiful fat tax cuts.”
Or this:
Trump told the troops they could look forward at home to the benefits of “big, beautiful fat tax cuts,” a stock market at record highs, jobs and economic growth.
“We’re doing well at home, the economy is doing great,” Trump said. “You’re fighting for something real, you’re fighting for something good.”
or this little gem:
Trump said he had told the troops overseas the country was “doing great,” thanks to his cuts in “regulation and all the waste and all the abuse.”
What kind of military personal would feel obliged to fight for Big Bu$ine$$?
If I were a soldier hearing that live, I would turn around to my fellows, them looking as wide-eyed as me, and ask, what this fat man does think what we were doing there?!
This is a huge sh*tshow of self-adulating, nothing else.. Guys, usually I abstain from Trumps regional comedy, but sometimes he just pushes some buttons for me - like disrespecting soldiers fighting for "him". And this is disrespect!
If course he never planned on winning just increasing his exposure. He wanted a tv show or online news agency. Plus he was seeking cash from Russia and that's why he's in so much trouble now.
