Musk "If we don't fix the deficit, America goes bankrupt. It's that simple."

Think about it. How does one pay for a tax cut? How much did the last tax cut cost you personally? Moron yourself!

Tax cuts reduce revenues. Tax cuts increase deficits.

There’s no free lunch.

 

[Marener]

He's not barking about taxes! You are a trained seal escaped from the liberal circus.

He’s barking about debt. Without enough tax revenue, the debt goes up.

 

[pknopp]

Think about it. How does one pay for a tax cut? How much did the last tax cut cost you personally? Moron yourself!

$7.8 trillion dollars.

 

[Rawley]

They claim they’re so concerned about the deficit but they’re simultaneously cutting taxes by like $4 trillion.

So they don’t exactly walk the walk.

They voted to keep our taxes the same. Your cult voted to raise the middle class' taxes by $4T

The budget calls for up to $4.5 trillion in new deficits through tax cuts, which Republicans plan to use to extend Trump’s expiring 2017 tax law and pass other pieces of his tax agenda.

House GOP panel passes budget blueprint with $4.5 trillion in tax cuts and steep spending reductions

The Republican-led Budget Committee approved a sweeping proposal to unlock Trump's agenda, sending it to the full House.

OK. The other way to describe it is that they voted to keep our taxes the same. Your cult voted to raise the middle class' taxes by $4T

Interesting that Trump didn't make those tax cuts permanent, just the ones for corporations, like his.

Trump hasn't done anything.

 

[Hector12]

I see. So you wonderful progressives take money away from the working class because they don't know how to save and give it to the third world. What wonderful people progressives are.

Democrats do not want to raise taxes on working class people. We want to impose massive taxes on the rich. When the top tax rate never got below 70% and was often much higher national debt was not a problem.

1. That $4.5T in deficits by extending the tax cuts is over 10-years, call it $450b a year.

2. DOGE hopes to cut $1T or $2T a year, or is it over 10-years? $2T over 10-years is $200b a year

3. Trump's new tariffs will generate revenue, how much TBD. Say $250b a year

4. So in theory, the $450b tax cut can be "paid for" by tariffs and DOGE.

 

[sartre play]

What if, the Democrats want America to go bankrupt? That would be their opportunity to
"fundamentally change" America.

Scare tactic ? from MUSK? Lots of threats,
We do need to do better, real & honest numbers needed.
Real interest in fixing problems.
All we get is propaganda fixes.

 

[Marener]

1. That $4.5T in deficits by extending the tax cuts is over 10-years, call it $450b a year.

That's in addition to a deficit of $1.8 trillion

2. DOGE hopes to cut $1T or $2T a year, or is it over 10-years? $2T over 10-years is $200b a year

"Hopes"

3. Trump's new tariffs will generate revenue, how much TBD. Say $250b a year

"Say"

4. So in theory, the $450b tax cut can be "paid for" by tariffs and DOGE.

"In theory"

 

[sartre play]

There is no indication that Republicans are going to pay down the debt.

Nothing has shown that any of them are looking to reduce the debt.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Trump hasn't done anything.

The last time around. He only made the ones permanent that helped corporations.

 

[g5000]

What if, the Democrats want America to go bankrupt? That would be their opportunity to

Um...retard?

The Republican House just passed a budget which will add $4 trillion to the debt.

 

[Rawley]

The last time around. He only made the ones permanent that helped corporations.

You're whining about something Congress did eight years ago? Really?

 

[elektra]

I saw nothing in that about how the budget wasn't going to explode.

The budget exploded a long time ago

 

[Zincwarrior]

You're whining about something Congress did eight years ago? Really?

Yes, four years ago, the last time Trump was in office. If that had not occurred, the US would be $4Tr to $6Tr less in debt. Now you want to do it literally again.

 

[Rawley]

Yes, four years ago, the last time Trump was in office. If that had not occurred, the US would be $4Tr to $6Tr less in debt. Now you want to do it literally again.

SO you're with your cult that wants to raise middle class taxes by $4T. Good luck selling that

 

[pknopp]

Yes, and?
