The GOP grift will be running the largest deficits as a percentage of GDP, in American history. We have the making of blowing up the dollar and destroying it as the worlds reserve currency.
Welcome to Venezuela.
Changes to tax policy are at the top of the agenda this year for the governing trifecta of Republicans, who control the House, Senate, and White House. At the end of the year, most of the individual income tax provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 are set to expire. Republican leaders are calling for a full extension of TCJA, but they are also considering a range of other tax cuts, including eliminating taxes on Social Security benefits and overtime pay, restoring the full SALT deduction, and more. All of those tax cuts would come with a big price tag, and if not offset with spending cuts or tax increases, the proposals would substantially increase federal deficits and debt.
The Full Array of Proposed Tax Cuts Could Increase Deficits by $9.1 Trillion
The tax cuts proposed by President Trump and Republican leaders would reduce tax revenues by $7.8 trillion through the 2025–2034 budget period, according to the Tax Foundation. If not offset with spending cuts or tax increases, the tax cuts would increase deficits by $9.1 trillion over 10 years, including related interest costs. Fully extending the TCJA would cost approximately $5.0 trillion, while other elements of Trump’s tax agenda also have large price tags over ten years:
- Eliminating income taxes on Social Security benefits: $1.4 trillion;
- Restoring the full State and Local Taxes (SALT) deduction: $1.2 trillion; and
- Eliminating income taxes on overtime pay: $880 billion.

Sure, why not hear what could happen from the "experts", I'm sure they might be right one of these days.
