Excellent dodge
Well, they DID promise us that a tax cut would somehow magically increase federal revenues. Looks like they were right. I know we paid more.
What I want to know is this: The Toadstool imposes tariffs on Chinese stuff. Your TV fritzes out so you get a new one. It costs $200 more than it would have last year due to the tariffs. Where does that extra $200 go to? Back to the Chinese manufacturer?
I know I shouldn't encourage this kind of behavior, but this is fuckin' funny.
You should know all about that. Anything more than a sentence gives you headache.
Um...a bit more decorum, Mujer de Bujo, lest we begin to believe that you are not a Mujer...or a lady.I know I shouldn't encourage this kind of behavior, but this is fuckin' funny.
Revenue technically
Poor Pearl, yapping for attention that will never come. I love it.

Not really since threads are seldom limited to one topic.
Americans did not earn more in 2018...stop lying.
The rich earned more...everyone else was either flat, or down.
What does it dodge?
The Conservative Trump Russia Tax Cuts were promised to produce growth of at least 3% and raise everyone's wage by at least $4,000.
They did neither.
But it didn't raise revenues.
Revenues collected in 2018 were $60B less than revenues collected in 2017.
Yes. Fiscal year 2018 revenues were higher than fiscal year 2017 revenues.

You mean we were lied to -- again?
Why would you think the after almost half a century of failed voodoo trickle down economics that this would be the year it would not actually and finally work? O ye of little faith...lol
Good link, thanks. From it:
"In 2018, the government’s revenues amounted to $3.3 trillion—$14 billion (or less than 1 percent) more than in 2017. As a percentage of GDP, revenues fell from 17.2 percent in 2017 to 16.4 percent in 2018, dropping below the average (17.4 percent) for the past 50 years."
and
"Net spending by the government was $4.1 trillion in 2018—$127 billion (or 3.2 percent) more than in 2017. Outlays amounted to 20.3 percent of GDP in 2018, compared with 20.7 percent in 2017, and were equal to the 50-year average. If not for the shift in the timing of certain payments, outlays in 2018 would have equaled 20.5 percent of GDP."
So much for that cherished GOP lie about the (D)s: "Tax and spend Democrats."
