The Republican tax cuts for the rich cost us $2.5 trillion on lost revenues. But I'm saying that the $2.5 trillion is actually a small number compared to a much larger number as the windfall from the tax cuts, created the real estate greed, lies and fraud that cost taxpayers $5 trillion in bailouts, stimulus, unemployment, increase deficit, increased interest on that debt, etc... not to mention trillions of lost consumer buying power. The tax cuts for the rick SCREWED US UP beyond what anyone is willing to face up to it.
