This would be true if Bernie didn't explain how he was funding virtually every program he wants to see.
This meme better fits the current administration.
1. Cut taxes. How is that paid? Oh, by magical new business created by lower taxes.
2. Build a wall. How is that going to stop people claiming asylum through check points? Magical new force fields.
3. Reduce EPA standards. How is that going to help climate change? Magical new improvements in coal production.

1. Economists have known for a long time that lowering taxes does increase tax revenue, but it's not as simple as lowering them - there's an equation to determine where in the curve it has the most effect. When people/businesses have more money to spend, the spend it. Businesses increase production, create new products, and grow.

It's called the Laffer Curve

2. People claiming asylum through checkpoints are fingerprinted, and all of their claims investigated. It can take up to 21 days to get an interview, and 120 days before a judge makes a decision on the asylum claim.

These people are known at this point. If they fail to complete the process, they're now criminals - and their faces/fingerprints are known. Unlike those who cross the border between checkpoints.

3. The EPA recently poisoned a river in Colorado, and has been found party to blame for the water in Flint Michigan - just another ecological disaster CAUSED by the EPA.

I have no problem with targeted reductions in taxes that show they will increase growth. Like, businesses paying zero tax if they meet a certain increase in hiring employees and reinvesting in their businesses for growth. What Trump did was a give away. There were no strings attached. Just more money to the top and nothing tied to increased growth. It was a very poor incentive and our trillion dollar deficit this year proves yet again that trickle down economics doesn't work. In every single case, growth has been seen for 18 to 24 months, then a leveling back off to same levels.

The vast majority of our current immigration problem is women and children crossing at legal check points. Not people crossing over land. I have no problem with new regulations making first country crossed, the legal country for asylum. This administration has been in the business of government sanctioned orphaning for over a year, trying to stop people from entering. Finally, they've gotten their heads out of their asses and made a legitimate change that others around the world won't shake their heads at in disgust.

To say that the EPA is the problem when we have vastly improved quality of air and water because of the EPA, is an oversimplification. We have more people employed in solar power than in coal, oil and gas combined. By not increasing standards, increasing alternative energy we are going backward and only supporting big oil/gas at the expense of the future and of jobs. Now we're supporting a king, a killer of an American journalist and putting Americans into harms way to support oil. There are obvious ties to big money, monopoly and the old way of doing things that don't support a positive future.

And how exactly is he funding the trillions he wants to add to the debt?

He has made his funding known for at least years now if you honestly cared to look.

Superb deflection

How is that deflection? He actually has plans to pay for his spending, unlike our current prez who's surpassing 1 trillion this year alone.
