Actually, with Reagan's tax cuts, government revenues doubled. Expect the same or better with President Trump.

Yep the cycle continues, republicans preach fiscal conservatism but cut taxes and increase spending, causing a deficit, which they blame on democrats, which democrats must come in and clean up. In the end the ones who win are at the top, the rest of us lose out economically, the American tax payer pays for Wall Street and big businesses greedy sins.

Just watch now as the deficit soars under our new tax cuts, and republicans move to cut social security and medicare to make up for the deficits. By calling them "entitlements" poor whites think that these are things for blacks and Mexicans to mooch off the state, little do they realized without these supports they will end up homeless/sick/bankrupt in their older years. Our poor whites sense of pride is their downfall, "I don't need the government!" Yet sadly, they do, medical costs are out of control, and everyone needs medical care. Most American households have 0 savings and live pay check to pay check. Without social security how will they survive? Guess the solution is to blame minorities, that'll make everything better.

76% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. 14% are living even below that level. Only 10% are doing ok.
Tax Cuts should have been tripled for these 90% population and taxes increased for the 10% doing ok, with taxes up to 40% for the billionaires.
80% of US Government Contracts should go to US Based companies with revenues below 10 million dollars a year. Now that is what would drive Middle Class populations and savings up to levels for massive overall GDP Growth plus reduction of Debt.

It will take time for the tax cuts to be felt.

Lamb or Saccone?
I am predicting Lamb. If Tax Cuts etc are a mega success, no way for Lamb to win. In fact, he should lose by 15-20% points.

Really?

There's 70,000 more registered democrats in that district, Pennsylvania District 18, than republicans.

If Lamb doesn't win by 20 points, he's a real loser.

Lamb up by 847 votes BUT

Absentee ballots from 2 republican strongholds won't be counted until tomorrow...about 3200 votes total yet to be counted.

I don't see any way this House race isn't going to recounts...either way the cookie crumbles.

I dont get it, if there are 70k more registered democrats, why did Trump win by 20 points in 2016? Why do Republicans dominate this district for decades?
As per your logic, if Democrats just register more voters, they will sweep everything from now till forever...
