    pointing out your claims have been refuted, is not trolling.

    as I said, strawman.
    nowhere in this thread did I do any such thing. You are derailing the thread with your off topic bullshit.

    cutting the rate at which we collect revenue, decreases the amount of revenue that would have otherwise be collected. This is a demonstrable mathematical fact, and arguing against it is like arguing against gravity.

    Prove that is what happened economically. You misinformed statements about math and economics prove nothing.

    Did we collect more capital gains tax revenue at the Clinton 29% rate, the Gingrich/Kasich 20% rate or the Bush 15% rate? Did tax revenues overall grow faster at the Clinton rates, the Gingrich/Kaisch rates or Bush rates?

    I proved it mathematically.

    I don't provide misinformed statements. I refute your bullshit, in this case, with demonstrable mathematical fact.

    You've proved noting, you have made unsubstantiated misinformed assertions to avoid any discussion. Please respond to my question to you

    Did we collect more capital gains tax revenue at the Clinton 29% rate, the Gingrich/Kasich 20% rate or the Bush 15% rate? Did tax revenues overall grow faster at the Clinton rates, the Gingrich/Kaisch rates or Bush rates?

    And are you admitting Bush could not have vetoed the Democrats 2009 budget?

    It’s funny, the next thread in my feed was about the massive deficit the US is running up. Do tax cuts stimulate growth? Sure. Probably. Enough to pay for themselves? Most experts say probably not.

    Have a conversation with Grok who does understand some economics unlike you. You clearly have no idea what GDP growth rate is or how it is calculated or even basic maths. PS was Trump's last quarter figures a downturn? You did not answer it the last time it was asked which was not unexpected as you clearly don't know what an upturn ( upswing) or downturn are when referencing GDP

    Does this response mean you can't answer the questions or that you don't want to?

    U.S. Federal Budget Gap Widens as Fiscal Income Declines


    U.S. tax revenue declined in February and government spending rose, as the share of wages withheld for taxes dipped as a result of the tax cut passed by Congress late last year.

    Government revenue declined by 9%, or $16 billion, in February compared with the same period a year earlier, due to a decrease in the amount withheld from workers’ paychecks and a jump in refunds for individuals and corporations, the Treasury Department said Monday.

    U.S. Federal Budget Gap Widens as Fiscal Income Declines

    The deficit, or the difference between the amount of money the government spent and what it took in, stood at $391 billion in October through February. That was $40 billion, or 12%, higher compared with the same period a year earlier.

    Bingo!
    And if you factor in inflation and the natural increase in the work force it's worse than that.

    Wait, are you saying that basic mathematical facts state that if you cut the percentage on your revenue stream you collect, you will collect less revenue? I'm shocked I tell you, SHOCKED!!!!!!

    I've made my position clear and you've made your ignorance clear, so why are you still so upset?
