Billionaires are lining up to support President Trump and DOGE.

No he didn't...He got sandbagged into keeping the moocher state spending, in exchange for the military spending spree, just like republicans always do.
Oh he most certainly did. Steep tax cuts, increased military spending, huge cuts to social welfare programs====>higher deficits. :)

Reagan is the acknowledged father of modern deficit spending. We ran small deficits up to Reagan...but he took it to an art form.

Except there were no "huge cuts" in the social safety sofa.

Of course that deficit spending wasn't ever any problem when your team was engaging in it.

quite the contrary, he cut lots.



The pendulum has now swung in the other direction.Many of the programs which grew most rapidly from1965 to 1981 (Food Stamps, Comprehensive Employment and Training Act, federal guaranteed loan programs for higher education, and Legal Assistance, for example) have sustained the largest cuts. Compared toCarter's proposed 1982 budget, the fiscal 1982 budgetthat was proposed by Reagan represented a.reduction of$44 billion, or 5.7%, and all categories except nationaldefense were reduced.' Over half of the $44 billion budgetreduction came from two areas: income security; and education, training, employment, and social services. .The full extent of the shift in priorities being camed outby President Reagan can be seen in the estimates for the1986 budget, in which 19.9% of GNP, rather than thecurrent 23 %, is scheduled to be spent. The compositionby category of the 1986 budget is shown in the third column of Table 1. By that time, national defense, international affairs, and veterans' benefits and services will account for 40% of the total budget. All of the othercategories except health will be reduced in relativeimportance.

No, they aren't.

The top marginal rate is 37%.
Yes they are. Think about RE tax, state, excise tax, sales tax. Rich people generally have larger homes and fancier cars. They more than pay their fair share. In MA we have a 4% millionaires tax. In NYC they have a city tax. You honestly are clueless.

The discussion was about the Federal income Tax.

If you want to throw in all taxes, sales taxes, social security, and medicare more seriously impact the working class.
