So we won't have to raise the debt ceiling?

That's just as big a slam at pubs as dems.

Sad thing is it can't be a sustained decline in debt. Trump can do a lot to cut expenses, but the legislative obligations will always catch up. I'm surprised that he has cut enough to outpace baseline spending, even if for a short time. After they raise the debt ceiling, it will shoot up again.

6 month old articles are perfect in this scenario. Thanks for contributing.

The content of that article is still equally as relevant if you even bothered to take the time to read it. Thanks for contributing though.

That's awesome, but it'll reverse if he cuts taxes

No, cause it's not a real thing...

but I'm a believe that supply side economics can/does work in certain situations.
We need to cut federal income tax rates across the board and scale back the scope of the federal government. THAT would lead to private sector sustainable growth.

You're correct, it can work

But we need to be realistic about how much it can work. At a certain point revenue coming from newly realized supply side sales becomes unsustainable. I'd love to see some sort of stepped implementing of corporate taxes to find that "sweet spot". Most economists I've heard talk on the issue say that cutting the corporate tax rate to the mid-20s is possible. Trumps 15% is unrealistic and reckless and would put us further in the deficit hole.

Did look into it in detail, but I would guess it has to do..

with increase in income at tax filing time aligned with some down tick in payments. Payments and income aren't equally dispersed throughout the year, so I'm betting it's not that uncommon for the debt count to take dips down occasionally.
Of course it's stupid to for Trump to make hay out of it since it's going to be up substantially for the year and for his term in office.
