more revenue, not less. republicans, as you said, republicans may well be spooked by this increase in the deficit and debt by numbers you mentioned 3 to 7 trillion. i ve heard numbers in that range as well. we don t have enough details to score this, but when we do, you could see republican opposition. the thing for tax cuts, and certainly big businesses that already have the type of great lobbyists that work here in d.c. that are fighting for their big clients, who want to save big dollars, the trump theory is that if you give cuts to these folks, it creates jobs. we know there are still billions of dollars that remain offshore by these big companies. they haven t reinvested in america. is this really the signal they need? is that theory applicable here? not only is it not applicable here, it s not applicable anywhere. this is supply side trickle-down economics. that fairy dust never works. they re trying that in kansas as
trickle down. he buys into a when did we last have a sect of labor who had the kind of non labor, no person working experience and has been an employer who has violated the labor laws? i m senioorry. maybe you have a better memory. when was the last time we had a . we can adhere to this socialist idea that s demonized the people at top but that is not going to make anyone better off at the end. in the end the policies of donald trump and the policies that his pick supports are going to make life better for the average worker. it worked in the 1980s. it is going to work again. it dd not work in the 19 ollied. it did work in the 1980s. wages were flat. the median wage started to flatten and decline in the 1980s and that was because we had a president who believed in supply side trickle down economics and
social issues. and in terms of his economic issues, he s just taken a page out of mitt romney. he s supply side trickle down economics and it is a failed economic policy. and as people get we communicate that to people, people are flocking to the campaign. now that that special senate campaign is over, that he wasted tens of millions of taxpayer dollars just to benefit yeah, right, $24 million. we don t even know, because people may have to rent voting machines, because you have to impound them for 15 days after the election and they have to be ready to be turned around from october 16th to november 5th. they got 20 days. so we don t know. but the fact of the matter is, this governor makes every decision based upon what is in his national interest. what he thinks plays well with the conservative base of the national republican party. and unfortunately, new jersey has suffered because of it. all right. good luck in your campaign there. thank you. senator barbara buono, tha
discussions can dampen some of the opportunities we have to keep our economy going. jared, why does speaker boehner persist with the mathematical impossibility that closing loopholes and deductions will magically achieve the goal of raising sufficient revenues when we know that many of these deductions are cherished by the majority of americans? right. that s why you never hear any specificity. if you started actually talking about which loopholes you re going to close, you actually find that, you know, my loophole is your great job creation measure or for that matter is critically important in preserving charitable organizations out there. so that s a great way to really just keep this thing locked in neutral. look, the point on the tax rates is really important, and it goes back to pure republican orthodoxy. it has nothing to do with economics. this is supply side trickle down economics.
it s now time to clear the air. the xw op is right about one thing, this election is about big things. america faces a big question about how we preserved core american values, of creating and expanding opportunity for everyone for the good of the whole country and not just for the folks at the top. part of that question, what role should government, the private sector and individuals play? despite that dazzling smile and those chiseled abs, congressman ryan can t change the fact that both he and governor romney are trying to repackage the failed idea that cutting taxes on the wealthiest americans will result in investments that trickle down throughout the economy. supply side trickle-down economics is not new. it does not work.
