Why bring Trump into this?

I swear to fucking Woden you cannot keep those fuckers name out of your goddamn mouth.
 
Great, I'm a CFP, so we can discuss. Have I said something you think is wrong?

If so, exactly what is that?

Yes, that adding new dollar to an economy already experiencing massive inflation will "reduce inflation" That can only happen if you have Bernie Madoff's accountant working for you
 
You're rejecting the bedrock principle that adding new dollars to an economy is inflationary
You need to study up. The $11 TRILLION we added to the economy didn't cause inflation until global supply chains collapsed as demand exploded.

But, sadly, you're like the economists I listed above. I expect you to blame everything on the other tribe. Any excuse will do. That's why they're worthless.
 
In reality, opinions from economists are mixed.

Mr. Williams is with the "American Legislative Exchange Council", a group that says it is "dedicated to the principles of limited government, free markets and federalism".

In other words, he is a partisan ideologue. And whether they're from the Left or the Right, economists who are partisan ideologues are worthless. He's throwing darts for air time.



Nobody needs an econ degree to note that gubmint estimates of the revnue gains of tax increases always fall short, while expenditures always go far over budget.
 
That's the objective.
STILL doesn't make China pay for US tariffs.

You're FOS, MORON.
We tried to bring back manufacturing to America.

You idiots killed it.
AND it included tax breaks.

November 20 2014
Senate Republicans on Thursday blocked the No.1 item on the president’s congressional “to-do-list,” refusing to allow a vote on a bill that would give tax breaks for companies that “insource” jobs to the U.S. from overseas while eliminating tax deductions for companies that move jobs abroad.

The Bring Jobs Home Act would provide a 20% tax break for the costs of moving jobs back to the United States and would rescind business expense deductions available to companies that are associated with the cost of moving operations overseas.


Sure, moron.

The Trump-GOP tax law enacted in December 2017 creates clear incentives for American-based corporations to move operations and jobs abroad, including a zero percent tax rate on many profits generated offshore.

An ITEP report published after lawmakers enacted the Trump-GOP tax law explains the several ways it encourages American-based corporations to shift profits offshore and even shift real operations and jobs offshore.
1. Agreed tariffs are paid by importers, who pass the cost on to consumers, who may chose to buy cost-competitive US products instead.
2. We are still trying to bring back manufacturing, like chip manufacturing, instead of relying on China or Taiwan.
3. The democrats should have sweetened the deal with a tax cut for US corporations. It was still much cheaper to outsource even with the Bring Jobs Home Act tax cut gimmick.
4. The monster I was referring to was China, especially their military and global ambitions.

What incentives to move jobs abroad? It cut the Corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. That keeps jobs in the US, duh.
There was no "zero percent tax rate on overseas profits", that's a LIE. The Law encouraged bringing back capital from overseas with a one-time low tax rate.
"In the meantime it would require companies to pay a one-time, low tax rate on their existing overseas profits -- 15.5% on cash assets and 8% on non-cash assets (e.g., equipment abroad in which profits were invested), slightly higher than the rates in the Senate- and House-passed bills."
 
We would not have had inflation or a pandemic if Fau-Chi had not funded bat virus "gain-of-function" research at the Wuhan Lab, run by a Chinese general.
The president controls the department's funding. You have yet to prove your allegations.

Fau-Chi funded the research at the Wuhan Lab, and even continued it illegally after the Obama admin paused it.
Fau-Chi funded it indirectly thru other research companies.
Fau-Chi had $7b of funding that he controlled with very little to no supervision.

Is THAT why Trump signed his "tremendous" new trade deal with China, INCREASING trade with them by $200 billion?

They did, moron.

No, it doesn't.

Even before he took the oath of office, President Donald Trump was hailed for striking a deal with Carrier — a heating and refrigerating company based in Indiana — to save "close to 1,000" jobs that were on the chopping block.

Yet nearly six months later, Carrier is only saving a fraction of those jobs.

The company filed notice Monday night that it will lay off around 630 workers starting July 20 and lasting through the end of the year, far more than the 400 workers the company said it would let go as part of the deal, a local Indiana Fox affiliate reported.

On Thursday, Carrier announced it will lay off 600 workers in Indiana and shift those jobs to Mexico.

President Trump proclaimed that massive corporate tax cuts would keep jobs here in the USA. Harley-Davidson, the iconic U.S. motorcycle manufacturer, is using $700 million of its tax-cut money to buy back its own shares while closing its Kansas City plant and moving production offshore to Thailand.

Yes, there were, liar.

America's biggest companies are holding about $1.4 trillion in cash offshore to avoid paying billions in U.S. taxes, according to a new report by Oxfam America.​

Companies are supposed to pay federal taxes on their global profits, but the tax on money made overseas is only due when it's brought back to the U.S.
"In the meantime it would require companies to pay a one-time, low tax rate on their existing overseas profits -- 15.5% on cash assets and 8% on non-cash assets (e.g., equipment abroad in which profits were invested), slightly higher than the rates in the Senate- and House-passed bills."
That was TRUMP'S proposal, that never amounted to shit.
 
Breaking: Democrats increase TAXES on the poor and middle class. Did you know one of the hardest hit industries by the Dems 15% punishment tax on corporations is the auto industry. So those taxes will be passed down to everyone purchasing a new or used car. Thanks Dems you assholes!

Poor people don’t pay corporate income tax. Corporations do.
