it makes absolutely no economic sense whatsoever to cut income taxes when you've got a brutal trade war in front of you, and you're raising inflationary import taxes (a regressive consumption tax hike) and are dealing with slashes in revenue due to an imminent recession. you're going to end up with a structural deficit and be unable to pay for the social services required by the trade war.

it's the most asinine, sophomoric, amateur tax policy imaginable.

it's something i'd expect from the conservatives.
