GOP Unveils Bill To Make Trump Tax Cuts Permanent While Howling About Debt

[Mikeoxenormous]

So you want to cut entitlements and the safety net?

Never happen. You would never get ANYONE to support that nonsense.

We earned those benefits and NO ONE is going to steal them.

If you want to cut Welfare and Medicaid to Zero you can gain a lot. Buit do you really think anyone would vote to do that?

Important welfare statistics for 2021 - Lexington Law

Poverty remains a widespread problem affecting countless low-income families in the U.S. Here’s a breakdown of the latest welfare statistics for 2021.

In 2022, $1.3 trillion is projected to be spent on welfare programs in the United States.​

Medicaid Enrollment & Spending Growth: FY 2022 & 2023 | KFF

This issue brief provides an overview of Medicaid spending and enrollment growth with a focus on state fiscal years 2022 and 2023. Findings are based on data provided by state Medicaid directors as part of the 22nd annual survey of Medicaid directors in states and the District of Columbia...

www.kff.org

Total Medicaid spending exceeded $728 billion in FY 2021, with 31% financed by states and 69% paid by the federal government – a somewhat higher federal share than in recent years due to the FFCRA enhanced FMAP that became available as of January 2020. Overall, Medicaid accounts for nearly one in six dollars spent in the health care system and over half of spending on long-term services and supports.

Of course the whole idea from the Marxists/Democrats is to eventually bankrupt the system so no one gets any entitlements. Then they can come in at the point of a gun and force everyone to work in their new Communist Society of America. Dont fucking doubt me that isnt the plan....

OH really? If you take lazy people off welfare, they either work or they have to steal to survive. If they are working then they also are contributing to the tax revenues you so desire, but also arent taking anymore from welfare. If they try to steal from others, they are shot on sight thus removing them from society not being put into prison, which is another way to have welfare, thus removing them from the welfare system totally. Win win.

Cool beans, but we both know that scenario has less than zero chance of happening.

Maybe that's why they want to make ARs illegal and hire 87,000 IRS agents "willing to use deadly force"?

Capitol gain is based on profit from sale of an asset, such as stock. That is the main way the rich make money.

I know. And then they pay a lot more taxes than the middle class.

 

[Rambunctious]

That's a hoax.

You're a hoax....

If they're going broke, you didn't pay enough in to "earn" the current benefits.

Whenever there have been tax increases the Democrats assholes have spent the money on more bullshit stuff and the debt has increased.

Well said. A tax increase at all is pointless without spending cuts. Government is the worst about handling money…if you give them more, they will just raise spending to match and then well be right back to square one.

So you want to tax businesses out of business? Why dont you create a business like Jeff Bezos(A flaming liberal) and you pay 90% of what you earn. Egad, you are such a Joe Biden Voter.

Lol, once again, sarcasm doesn’t come across on message boards….

 

[ThisIsMe]

And he was able to do that in just 1 term, 4 short year's! Now that is truly MAGA!

Did you call Obama out when he doubled the debt? The debt increased by nearly 100% when he was president.

 

[ThisIsMe]

Or

The work of not selling stock until the price is high enough? Damn, how many hours a day does it take to do a job like that?

Probably a lot. There are investment firms all over the world that do just that.

Also, the Democrats have a difficult time understanding basic Economics.

Whenever we have a tax decrease the economy grows and tax revenue increases. We saw it under Reagan, Bush and Trump.

The Democrats raise taxes and then spend the money on worthless shit, like EV charging stations, Solundra investments and more welfare.

I have papers from SS saying what I earned, and the fucking government has to make good.

Of course, a government promise based on bad math means money magically appears.

Cut defense
cut welfare
cut medicaid

There is plenty of money.

Sounds good.
That doesn't increase money into Social Security or decrease money out of Social Security.

About those IOUs that were given by Uncle Sam when he took the surplus SS money from the "Lock Box", time to put it back.

The IOUs get paid back as needed and Social Security is still running out of money.

Dont forget the Democrat John F. Kennedy. He had tax cuts also which helped grow his economy until LBJ had him assassinated.

Not true. SS can pay 80% of promised benefits forever, its the small fix thats needed to pay full benefits.
1. Raise the cap
2. Raise the ages a year for those under 55 (two years for those under 35, if needed)

Simple fix.
