Well, as I understand it wars are already too expensive for a long time now. The only reason there's war in ME is because of the oil and the motto "that war will pay for itself by selling their oil". That's why there will never be a war with North Korea since there is no money for it and they don't have any oil.
Are you sure? I'd say you'd get enough barrels filled squeezing Kim Jong-un hard enough. He's that greasy.

So, is the government going to accumulate enormous piles of cash and burn it ?
They are vastly reducing the taxes on the wealthy so that it will "trickle down" and they will finance that by cutting aide to and medical care for the less well off.
But that's republicans for you, morally bankrupt users.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

There was a Hollywood script writer on Channel 4 news last night and he mentioned that his tax break from Trump equated to five Ferraris, Sorkin or something, wrote the west wing?

Personally I'm all for it because it increases the standard deduction to 24000 dollars. As someone who only works part of the year and lives off a small amount of money, doesn't a bunch of stupid deductions to make up, I'll basically never have to pay federal taxes.
