OKT 11727989Right, isn't it just freaking crazy to take into account reduced revenues and a faltering economy?
Reduced Revenues were the result of the 2007 through 2009 huge recession. That just happened to follow a perious of Tax Cuts and borrowing to fight a war. It was unprecedented in US history to cut taxes for the wealthy while fighting a major war.
Something is definitely wrong since the economy 'now' is not 'faltering' for top income earners and property owners. It is faltering for the middle class. The fix needs to be directed to getting more spendable income into middle class bank accounts. It is not happening by easing the upper bracket taxpayers' burden and hoping for the trickle down theory to work. It's Republicans that are blocking any alternatives to Trickle Down that need to be tried.
The CBO has also projected that repealing the ACA will increase the Federal deficit. But conservatives ignore the CBO when they make projections such as that.
Oh right, having 96 million work eligible people out of the workforce, debt raising by the trillions and redefining full time to 32 hours a week couldn't possibly mean our economy is weak, after all we have soooooooo many full time workers, it's all happy freaking days, just ask your dear leader.
