What the hell is wrong with Trump
Just read this Economist transcript:

[link to www.economist.com]

Economist: But beyond that it’s OK if the tax plan increases the deficit?

Trump: It is OK, because it won’t increase it for long. You may have two years where you’ll…you understand the expression “prime the pump”?

E: Yes.
Trump: We have to prime the pump.
E: It’s very Keynesian.
T: We’re the highest-taxed nation in the world. Have you heard that expression before, for this particular type of an event?
E: Priming the pump?
T: Yeah, have you heard it?
E: Yes.
T: Have you heard that expression used before? Because I haven’t heard it. I mean, I just…I came up with it a couple of days ago and I thought it was good. It’s what you have to do.

Just what the f... Trump claims that he's invented the priming the pump expression? After the reporter says he's heard it before. Sure, he invented it. Just like Al Gore invented the Internet.

Re: What the hell is wrong with Trump
if theres anything ive learned its not to take a snippet of dialogue and try to form an opinion from it without taking the whole conversation into context.

Thats how Trump beat the left all through the election.They would take a piece of something and claim he said something because of it. a few days later the whole conversation was shown and it was all bullshit.

over and over and over and over and over.....

Trump invented the expression "prime the pump" because Melania will not longer let him put his little orange penis in her ass, so he has to use a penis pump, which he has to "prime" by stuffing it with cotton because it is too big for his wiener.

Re: What the hell is wrong with Trump
You have to understand that Trump fully intends to CARSH the system. He is saying these things so that the Keynesians are satiated. He wants to look like he is playing along.

But remember the tune he always played after his rallys:

"you can't always get what you want, ...but... you get what you need!"

Re: What the hell is wrong with Trump
There are other meaning to prime the pump and it is not a nasty one though.

Getting something to do something else, including giving some money. It can be as simple as an idea, instead of money. Starting a game instead of money, making friends by giving and receiving etc..

Spending trillions on the military industrial complex while cutting taxes on the rich is definitely a recipe for cutting the national debt.

Dumbass.

Lower taxes means much higher revenue.


ECON 101 at Harvard by the way
 Quoting: jake


It's called the Laffer curve. At 0% tax 0$ revenues. But also at 100% tax 0$ revenues, which means that the optimum tax rate (optimum for the government) lies somewhere in between.

What is that optimum value? Turns out it's quite low, 30% or so. Thus lower taxes at our current 40-50% rate (including state taxes), could dramatically increase revenue.

This happened every time it's been tried, during the Kennedy, Bush, Reagan and Clinton years.

Would you rather have 20% of a million or 35% of $300k ?
It also leaves more in the hands of business to hire and invest. More workers means more tax revenue too.

The Laffer Curve has always been complete bullshit, as was pointed out by David Stockman during the Reagan years of horseshit.

The national debt tripled during the Reagan years and then quadrupled again by several trillion dollars during the Bush years of voodoo economics.

So please kill yourself, you lying, traitorous moron.
