Remember this next time you hear folks complaining about tax cuts
Remember kids... the tax cuts are irresponsible, and cutting spending is heartless

But what if we could have achieved those objectives, at roughly the same price, by forgoing tax cuts — and wiping out every penny of student debt in the United States, instead?

Sigh.
What do you say to people like me who responsibly paid back their entire student loans?
Why do you focus on the small tax cuts compare to the monstrous spending?

Quit patting yourself on the back for your good fortune/luck
you are acting in a Trumpish manner /// claiming credit for the economy in Feb 2017
Humility is not an over rated virtue

Is good fortune some sort of Euphemism in your mind for hard work and perseverance? Is the latter just too difficult for you to admit because it spits in the face of your pathetic and childish worldview?

Seriously?
I worked night shifts at Target after I graduated so I could pay back my loans faster. I didn't take a vacation for 2 years after graduation bc I wanted to pay my loans back faster.
So **** you
Again - Any evidence that counteracts his world view is dismissed. Its all about making people think they can't help themselves so the virtuous government can take control. Its pathetic how useless he is.

oh get over yourself
Go make a friend or meet a woman.
That aggression combined with self worth issues are a heart attack in the making
If you ever care to discuss College debt and policies that can be beneficial to all let me know.
your self congratulatory anecdotal experience though commendable is tiresome / boring --- tacky

Failing to acknowledge the obvious of how the tax bill and related gender issues defines the parameters of the conversation ---- you were going to start a discussion on domestic violence ?

During the 2016 campaign when fellow Braves fans talked endlessly about how the (R) / Trump as a marriage would uphold basic longstanding (R) principles I was one that thought and warned if that was what you were basing your vote on that was not at all in Trumps DNA makeup
As the Trump budgets unfold, the history of a trail of bankruptcies, steaks,wineries and Atlantic City are rearing their ugly head.
I warned he ran a gambling house into the ground --- where the odds always favor the house

President Trump is remaking the Republican economic playbook in his own image, abandoning ideological consistency in *favor of a debt-busting strategy that will upend how Washington taxes and spends trillions of dollars each year

More horrible news.
What will end up happening is that all these public programs giving hand outs will show massive surpluses because people are working now and making more money. Entitlement reforms are going to take place and that is a great thing. Won't balance the budget but knock of those expenses while raising revenue because of increased GDP and you will work towards a balance budget. Problem is that we have been given such a ****ty balance sheet from the last 16 years of disaster that you aren't left with many good decisions in the short term to balance. You can't fix 16 years of mismanagement in 1 year and sometimes problems have to get worse before they get better.
