How about you put in somebody who understands that you can't cut revenue and increase spending. We lived that under Reagan, until he woke up and smelled the deficits and most of his big tax cuts had to be rolled back.
You understanding of Reagan is poor. Yes, he cut taxes and the economy grew tremendously. Revenues to the treasury nearly doubled in his 8 years. Income Taxes paid by the wealthy actually went up while income taxes paid by the lower 50% went down.
Yes, the deficits went up. Reagan was going to rebuild out depleted military because of his strategy to defeat the Soviet Union, not just continue with Detente. He decided Detente was working. His new strategy was simple. We win, they lose. His counterparts in the Dem party (Tip O'Neill) wanted to dramatically increase domestic spending. They compromised.
The end result was the collapse of the Soviet Union. And an extraordinary peace dividend lead the way for eventual surpluses under Clinton.
Cutting taxes and regulations is extremely stimulative. Cutting regulations helps greatly as well. If Trump does both and the economy takes off, Keynesianism is DEAD.
I would point out that Obama did the opposite of Reagan. He raised taxes. He spent money like water. He significantly raised regulations. And he amassed the largest deficits and total debt larger than all Presidents combined.
And yes, Reagan later raised taxes, but not nearly as much as he cut them. They were still a large net tax cut. Again, all part of a compromise with Tip.
