“He had the hottest economy in modern history once he cut taxes for middle-class and hard working Americans,” she continued. “We saw revenue coming into the federal government increase in 2018 and in 2019, much in the same ilk as President Ronald Reagan, so we believe unprecedented growth will solve the problem.
