I suppose it would be foolish to think that you’d propose or anccept across the board spending cuts to match the tax cuts.

Wait, if he accepted reasonable spending cuts to government spending, he be broke, homeless and starving.
 
JFK had major tax cuts that resulted in higher revenue too.
‘He would be a Republican today.
For sure these days he would be a Republican. In his time he was an old guard honorable Democrat that pretty much don't exist any more.

I need to add to my intellectual dishonesty thread all the tremendous effort the dishonest Democrats are making to make it appear like Trump is economically incompetent or irresponsible even as they try pretend Biden was not.
 
There is nothing "beautiful" about a "big" spending bill that funds far left initiatives like the Green New Scam for decades and adds $20 TRILLION to our national debt. Can we finally admit but for very few people, the GOP is controlled uniparty opposition. We don't have opposing ideologies in DC.

That's what always happens.
Bullshit.
Increased Revenue only happens because Trump borrowed $8T and spent like a drunk sailor, not because of tax cuts.
If he didn't borrow any money and cut taxes and cut spending tax revenue would decrease, duh.

The voters put them in office
The country is not as far right as we want it to be.
 
Of course it will. Trump's new $400 mill plane alone is going to cost us $1 billion to make it Air Force One. And in just about 3 years Trump takes it with him.
It could be $400 Billion.
 
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.





Buy gold, short the TLT. There's a shit storm coming.

What absurd nonsense. That money doesn't belong to the government and never did. It belongs to taxpayers. Calling tax cuts "expenses" is pure ridiculousness. When you save extra money, do you call it an expense?
 
Still waiting for odanny to link us up to this $9 trillion deficit.

It's weird how Dembots always live in this world of what "could" happen, instead of reality. In reality, it's folks like Xiden that gave us a 1.8 trillion dollar deficit in 2024...

EXACTLY RIGHT!! Trump and the Republicans are trying to fix the fiscal mess and democrats don't understand the math.
The CBO $3.8T debt add in 10-years is actually a $380b deficit per year
Tariff revenue could be $400b a year
DOGE could cut more waste, fraud, and theft.
The Fed could cut interest rates reducing the $1T in interest payments
Growth could be more than 1.8% a year, generating more revenue
Rescissions could cut $billions of waste
Maybe the senate will raise the top tax rate as Trump wants to 40%, gaining $500b

Trump should get to a surplus.

If you can only keep a country going by stealing from it's most productive citizens, that country doesn't have a taxing problem, it has a spending problem.
