Question For Trump Supporters -- Do You Support Republicans' Proposed Medicaid Cuts, In Order To Pay For Billionaire Tax Cuts?

[Nobody911]

Trump is such a bragger. Pride goes before a fall! lol.

Trump's policies and executive orders in 2025 are unlikely to reduce the national debt or save the budget. His agenda includes significant tax cuts, which could add trillions of dollars to the deficit. While he has proposed cutting certain government agencies and programs, these measures may not offset the increased spending and tax reductions. Additionally, his administration's rhetoric about balancing the budget contrasts with fiscal realities, as experts doubt that his strategies will effectively reduce debt.

Trump's policies are likely to significantly impact federal spending in the long term, primarily through increased borrowing and potential cuts in certain programs. Here are some key aspects:

Tax Cuts: Extending the 2017 tax cuts and further reducing corporate taxes could stimulate economic growth but will likely increase the fiscal deficit unless offset by substantial spending reductions. This could lead to higher interest payments on national debt.

Spending Cuts: Proposed cuts, such as those suggested by the Department of Government Efficiency, aim to reduce federal spending. However, these efforts may face resistance and might not yield significant savings.

Program Reductions: Trump's administration has considered freezing or cutting funding for various programs, including research grants and social services. These actions could affect public services but might not sufficiently address overall budgetary pressures.

Overall, Trump's policies risk exacerbating fiscal challenges without providing a clear path to sustainable long-term budget management.

Hey stupid, you brought NPR spin on what they said. He brought what they actually said.

In short, he just owned you.

NPR was quoting the liars Johnson and Trump....why does that matter? Nothing they say matters.

You want oligarchy, Kleetus.
You think it's OK for 3 people in this country to have more wealth than the bottom 170 million.
Does billionaire cock taste that good?

You keep whining about the wealth disparity but do not propose a cure.
You must know that Communism never works.
Capitalism works.
Do you want the dems to pass their "Wealth Tax" on the 1%?
Put up an idea instead of just bitching and whining.

The Marxist schizoid wants to divert your attention away from the fact that the Communist Manifesto is his dogma

You're so pathetic. Instead of admitting that 3 people should not have more wealth than 170 million people in this country, you just repeat the same tired MAGA dumb shit over and over.

You're obviously not very smart.

When a progressive tax system, puts in across the board cuts it does benefit the rich much more.
example a progressive system where the lowest rate is 10% and the highest is 37%, a 10% tax cut would change it to 9% lowest and 33% highest.
The low end save 1% while the highest saves 4% which translates to the lowest saving up to $250 while the highest save a minimum of $27,000
With Elon Musk saving over $2 billion in taxes.

WHY is a heavy graduated income tax the 2nd plank of the Communist Manifesto ?
