Right now,apparently, none. It’s just an increase to the deficit. One can assume, however, that the deficit-conscious GOP will not be so irresponsible as to simply cut taxes without cutting spending. And historically their favorite target is the poor.
“Probably” , “apparently” and “assume”. Yet you are so confident.
It was a "tax" cut correct?.. What do you expect?
Yeah, post that rabble rousing drivel from far left sites. I’m sure it’ll change hearts, minds, and voting habits.
Occupy, Democrats! Woo Hoo!
Benefits? That stuff that folks with jobs pay for you mean?
Can bitch about people who make more getting a bigger benefit, but as being the one who approves payroll at the company, I know every single employee got a bigger paycheck the week the cuts were introduced. So, the converse is, everybody's paycheck would go down if they weren't extended
Nonsense. We have a bill-paying problem and a borrowing problem.
America has plenty of money to do the things we want to do. We just have relentless propaganda designed to protect the rich that tells us we shouldn't try to have things like a world class public education system or a world class public health care system or a safe environment.
Whenever anyone resorts to the "spending problem" trope, they are spouting spouting pro-oligarch propaganda. Because, really, who benefits from pretending America can't afford to support the best lives for its citizens?
In this case it's always better to be the trickler not the tricklee.
RTFM
Seriously, look at what Trump and his supporters are saying about cutting and where those cuts should come from. Sounds a lot like Project 2025, doesn't it? So you could just look there and probably be on the right track.
Here's a link for you:
You know there is a long history of the GOP doing these things, so it's not exactly a stretch to assume they will continue giving tax cuts to billionaires while cutting programs for the less fortunate.
They want to kill social security and medicaid. How pissed would you be if your SS payment went away even though you paid into it your whole life?
This is somewhat true, provided you understand the following:
1. The plentiful "money" in question currently belongs to American citizens.
2. The "we" that wants to do these things is not an all inclusive we.
He was giving the Rs some benefit of doubt. Probably shouldn't have. When was the last time Rs believably cared about deficits, after all?
Do you have any reason for actually challenging his statement, or is all about word choices for you?
