Economic Growth for Q1 2018 was 0.6% below economic growth for Q4 2017. So the tax cuts harmed the economy.
U.S. Economy Grew by 2.3% in First Quarter, Easing Slightly
The economy grew at an annual rate of 2.3 percent in the first quarter, the government reported Friday, offering a preliminary glance at how last year's sweeping package of tax cuts is affecting consumers and businesses this year.
...
While the pace is equal to the performance for all of last year, it is below the 2.9 percent annualized rate recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017, and short of Mr. Drumpf's goal of at least 3 percent.

So because you cannot adequately defend what is terrible, destructive, awful tax policy, your natural instinct is to try and levy a personal attack.
Like so much of what the right-wing does, it's completely impotent.

I notice that you can't offer a well constructed argument, so you simply offer your "feelz".
Are you sure that one single statistic is a great basis for your sweeping proclamation ?

Your shitty tax cut harmed economic growth, nor has it delivered on any of the lofty promises made of it.

Sure is. You're the ones who said cutting taxes would unleash all this investment and growth.
Since your tax cut, the economy slowed by 0.6% and the Dow dropped 400 points.
A couple of months' data, and 400 points on the Dow, do not make a historical event.
It would be a real shame if you couldn't understand this.

I would be very interested in knowing some details on how the tax cuts "harmed" the economy. I bet I will never hear from you on that.

Ah, so this is a case of "any day now the magic will start working". Tell you what, why don't you hold your breath until we start seeing this miraculous growth we were promised the tax cuts would create.
If it didn't magically start before, what makes you think it ever will? Faith and feelings. That's ultimately what your argument is going to be, isn't it? That you have
faith that the tax cuts will trickle down because you
feel like that is what will happen...even though it never has before, in the many, many times we've tried it.
FYI - Trump didn't even get 3% growth in 2017. He's already behind growth for Q4 2017. The market is down 400 points since the tax cuts went into effect.
Is this like a "time-release" thing? Is the trickle down supposed to be triggered by something? Y'all were selling it as if the effects would be immediate. In fact, you all promised that by February, everyone would see it in their checks. Turns out that was bullshit too. And not only that, but by repealing the individual mandate, you caused premiums to increase an additional 10% over what they would have already. That premium increase eats up any nominal benefit a worker might see from this stupid tax cut.

Simple:
GDP Growth Q4 2017: 2.9%
GDP Growth Q1 2018: 2.3%
Is 2.3% > or < 2.9%?
If GDP growth slowed, that would indicate what? HARM TO THE ECONOMY.

Vomiting up a chart of debt growth, absent the debt growth prior to Obama (remember, Bush DOUBLED the debt long before Obama was President, and Reagan tripled it) isn't the answer for why your shitty tax policy failed.
BTW - thanks to your tax cut, the deficit will be back to $1T again, after Obama got it down to $500B.
So your tax cut
doubled the deficit. The thing you pretended to care about throughout Obama, after not giving a shit about it during Bush the Dumber.
BTW - I know I said it before, but I'll say it again; BUSH DOUBLED THE DEBT AND REAGAN TRIPLED IT. And the deficit peacocks like you were silent the entire time.

The debt and deficit are not the fault of the taxpayers. It is the fault of the government. The taxpayers should not be punished because congress was irresponsible with their money.

A plan that lets workers keep more of THEIR $ that they EARN, a plan that allows cooperation's to invest more of THEIR own $ that they EARN and record tax collected. It isn't really hard to see the economy is moving in the right direction after 8 years of nobama.

Wow, way to take one tiny statistic in one brief moment of time and apply it to everything u dont like...
Apparently you have FAITH that the government can handle the economy more than the average individual. Apparently u FEEL butthurt that trump is winning winning winning so u decide to throw a tantrum you cannot back up with facts...
U do know other things were happening then too right? U know unemployment is way down, u know buisnesses are growing and expanding, u know consumer confidence is at an all time high, manufacturing is coming back, and we are getting much better trade deals, and WAY less lazy people are stealing welfare. As for the deficeit are u forgeting the Laffer curve or are u just anti science? The feds will get MORE in taxes by LOWERING taxes. Its very simple, yet hard for ur libtarded brain to grasp. Rememeber this has all worked before, trickle down was a YUGE success.
I guess when the facts come out u conveniently forget to come back to check. Speechless huh?
Please educate yourself before making foolish statments like "tax cuts hurt the economy", which history proves isnt true...

Again, u show a hollow head and a lack of basic economic science. Please let go of ur religion of socio-communism, its never worked.
U do know the tax cuts dont take full effect until this year which means they can only be fully judged after next tax time. And yes most people have felt the positive economy in some way. Minoriry unemployment is at historiclly low levels...
Removing the mandate will increase healthcare costs???
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Where did u learn economics? The bernie school of, "if it feels good it is good"? Or the snowflake school of, "me no wanna work"?
The gvt getting into healthcare is what made it so expensive in the first place. Less gvt=less healthcare cost. Srry but it really is that simple. But please, tell me again how obamacare lowered costs for the vast majority of ppl, and everyone loved it... (can we say, 2010 midterms?)
Please be mindful of the fact that seniors read this too. We dont want them to die laughing at looney leftist lies like, "obamacare worked", or "if u like ur doctor u can keep him"
