    Yes, of course, but it's not enough. The CBO and other economists that looked at his plan says it's not enough. Even after he cut back on his tax cuts, it wasn't enough to just maintain the same deficits we've been running and now we're throwing large infrastructure expense in there too. So you can have all this stuff, just remember, the national debt will continue to go up.

    I figured for sure he would come back for football season. Guess he's gone for good.

    There are things the CBO can't estimate. Trade deals will be a huge factor. He has to be able to get some major wins.

    Further, Trump also outlined a tax on offshore accounts.

    Everyone is speculating on what he's going to cut, but the fact remains Obama's shitty 1% growth is unacceptable. If Trump policies can boost us to 2.5 - 4, that deficit goes byebye

    I'm pretty sure the tax on offshore accounts was factored in.

    Obama's been above 1% since 2010 so virtually his entire presidency. We've been at 2.5% for 2014 and 2015. We need minimum sustained growth of well over 4 percent. We've never sustained that kind of growth more than 5 years. It's just not likely and economists agree.

    Arizona lost out on the marijuana proposition, but even more importantly the proposition that requires paid sick leave and a minimum wage increase passed.

    If he follows through with that I have hope.
