Tom Toles for May 28, 2017

More Trump mystery math, and the reason we aren’t seeing any more tax returns, or where the money came from.

No mystery about it. It is funny math, like funny money is untrustworthy and just resembles what it claims to be.

DONALD IN WONDERLAND – {a rhyme and an image}

Two trillion? Hey, this we can fix

quite easily with logical tricks

like those of the Mad-math Hatter

who at Wonderland’s teas would splatter

the logic, – then chatter

to confuse the matter.

Trumponomics 101! Works for the “rich”, but not so well for anyone else.

And if we Quadruple it, we’ll have been out of debt LAST year!

Keep adding Trillions, and soon the U.S. Budget will be balanced all the way back to 1785!

Here we go again. The myth of “trickle down economics”, illusionary GDP growth, increased defense spending, and tax “deform” bills the Repugnantcans try for in every budget. Sickening.

VOTE THEM OUT!

The excess wealth is trickling down into offshore banks and tax shelters, so the neoliberal plan is working fine.

Right wing extremist liar Tramp was a TV host who does not believe in reality, what could go wrong?

Of course, a habitual con-artist that has declared bankruptcy 4 times, and shafted hundreds of contractors and employees is the PERFECT person to balance the budget! At least the Deplorable Republicans seem to think so…

Why don’t people talk about trickle-up economics? If working people make enough for decent life, then the companies that manufacture what they need will make a profit.

@Lonecat The days when the rich would settle for a trickle up are long gone. They want the firehoses, full blast.

As the GOP shrugs as in the past, “a trillion here, a trillion there, and pretty soon you’re talking real money”. Reagan/Bush quadrupled the debt. “W” doubled it. Yes that went from billions to trillions. But there has been inflation.

Trump disciples all believe that it’s a great budget.

Sure, it screws them over, but libruls hate it, and that’s all that matters.

And the latest meme from the Cons is that the CBO “isn’t correct” and all without showing their work.

Paul Ryan has been tutoring him.

Mr. Toles, I love the snout on him.

Math is fake news.
