Longshoreman's Union VP Has a Message About Trump That Will Likely Sicken Dems

[initforme]

As history cycles unions will be on thr rise again. Zero wrong with thsy.

 

[Cellblock2429]

Actually, your margin in the House shrunk.



We're doing an awesome job.

8 Trillion more in debt to have a 1% shift in the Unemployment rate is nothing to be proud of.

/—-/ It doesn’t change the fact that tax cuts increase revenue to the treasury.

If the tax cuts are gor the low wage workers exclusively then yes

Statement from Int'l Longshoremen's Association EVP Dennis Daggett on his meeting with President Trump: "In over 25 years of working in Washington, I have never seen a Republican take up the mantle for working-class people. President-elect Trump proved me wrong yesterday."

Dennis Daggett, the executive vice president of the International Longshoreman’s Association — the union that shut down ports with a strike earlier this year — said his recent meeting with Trump was “an experience I never imagined in my wildest dreams.”

[…]

Following that meeting, Trump took on one of their top grievances — automation.

“I’ve studied automation, and know just about everything there is to know about it,” Trump wrote on Truth Social after the meeting.

I love it when the most knowledgeable man on earth is crudely flattered and sucks it all up then asks for more.

It reassures my faith in the Chump's narcissism...

He's actually incredibly humble.

I wish that he would talk about himself more.

Trump's Spin on Tax Cuts Raising Revenues - FactCheck.org

Former President Donald Trump is proposing to lower the federal corporate tax rate to 15%, insisting that when he lowered it to 21% starting in 2018, revenues received by the government actually went up due to economic growth it spurred. Economists say that's not what happened.

​

Marc Goldwein, senior vice president and senior policy director of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan group that seeks lower deficits, says the evidence is clear: “The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reduced revenue. It’s irrefutable. … It definitely increased the deficits.”​

​

“Immediately after the tax cuts were passed, the next year revenues fell,” Goldwein told us in a phone interview, and that was true in real dollars as well as relative to gross domestic product.​

​

In 2021 and 2022, revenues were significantly higher than CBO projected when it projected the TCJA would increase deficits by more than $500 billion for those two years, but by 2023, revenues had returned to the CBO’s projected level.​

​

“Overall the TCJA cost more than we initially projected it would, not less,” Goldwein said. While there has been some economic growth from the tax cuts, he said, there is “no evidence” the law “paid for itself,” as some predicted it would.​

He does take pride in knowing more about everything than anyone else when in fact he has much to be modest about.

Spending increased the deficient.

The end.

He's this centuries rennasaince man.

 

[justoffal]

So, um, he's stupid?

Trump's appointees to the NRLB have consistently ruled against Union interests.

His second round is going to be much worse.

Hoping the Cannibals eat you last is never a good strategy.

I've been Union and I've been non-union.
I can tell you the NLRB is a lifesaver for a person who's tied up with a corrupt union.

You might be right

Tax rate reductions

Those idiots believe, from their stupid, stupid logic, that if tax rate is zero, revenue is infinite.

Best to leave them to it.

/—-/ no one advocates were zero revenues are infinite. That’s just you being frustrated that the democRATs have been lying to you for decades.
