Can you explain why a tax cut would lead to a huge bill?

sounds like you need more tax cuts for the rich and wait for it to trickle down.

Tax cuts are not handing out free money.

Something's got to offset the tax cuts.

That's the point of tax cuts...?

everything that is being cancelled is being done to make room for upcoming $4.5T tax cuts :)

Not really. It's about cutting expenses so that he can pass a large tax cut (primarily benefiting corporations and the wealthy). No one is worried about the deficit anymore.

Failing to increase taxes is not a tax cut.

More tax cuts for the rich sure won’t help either

Never let a good tax cut go to waste. Or something like that anyway.
