Truth be known... It was never Trumps tax plan.
The republicans had been working on this since before trump made his party nom.

And Robbie, if you check, you will find once we came off the gold standard, we tied the dollar to the price of oil.
Technically, our money is backed by oil now.

If you watch the currency exchanges and understand the oil markets a bit, it becomes clear how complex our dollar's value is determined.

This is why Russia and Iran, Cuba, Venezuela and some others have wanted to get off this OIL/Dollar standard.
Everyone that needs to buy oil, needs to buy dollars to do it.
At least with OPEC Countries. The original intention was to stabilize the oil price, which it did do, and also artificial property value in the states.

The dollar is still backed by gold. Just not 1 to 1 and now you can't demand gold from dollars at a federal reserve bank.

Your never going to get either party to come clean on spending. So I think the right thing to do is insure they are spending it on "YOUR PRIORITIES" among anything else they might spend it on. You will not receive what you fail to ask for.
