Rubio plans to go deficit spending and crash the economy

WA Post: That's the same big idea that Marco Rubio and Mike Lee have today. They also want to cut the top rate from 39.6 to "only" 35 percent, and use the money that could have gone into cutting it even further to expand the Child Tax Credit from $1,000 to $3,500 instead. Now that credit would only be refundable against payroll and income taxes—so if you didn't owe any, you wouldn't get any help—which is why most of its benefits would go to the middle and upper-middle classes. The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center estimates that, altogether, this plan would raise after-tax incomes 1 percent for the bottom 40 percent, around 2.4 percent for the next 50, 2.8 percent for the top 1, and 3.8 percent for the top 0.1. That adds up to a lot of red ink, though: $2.4 trillion more in deficits over the next decade, to be exact.

Note to self, Marco Rubio, Republican Communist Rat.
