Democrats want to repeal Trump’s tax cuts and replace them with payouts for the poor

"You know what you could actually do with this money? You could give anyone making under $75,000 a raise."

Flawed logic. How is she going to give someone a raise when she doesn't employ them? Cutting taxes for private sector allows the company more room to invest in their employees.

Didn't a company in Oregon do this? Then failed miserably?

What's interesting is you guys have no difficulty recognizing that non-tariff taxes are bad for business and result in unemployment, but you completely abandon this view when it comes to tariff taxes. It's so weird.

We’re are still dodging all the incoming unemployment reports and the stock market shrug it off like it not there . I guess when you start throwing massive lay offs at us like what will happen if the Dems pass a bill like this then we can pay more attention to the tariffs .

[sigh] President Trump may have signed the tax bill, but it was Congress which passed it. Congress, people. Not a single Congress has shown any inkling of fiscal responsibility in decades. They crow that the economy is booming, unemployment is low, and yet, Federal deficits are growing at an increasing rate. Voodoo economics, folks.

Trickle down has always been nonsense. The Dems "pay go" was nonsense, smoke & mirrors hiding structural deficits. Whoever winds up in the next Congress, whatever party they're from, demand that they give the American public an honest accounting. Demand that they set aside both parties' folderol and be fiscally responsible.

It doesn't matter if your red, blue, libertarian, or socialist. Everyone should agree that Congress perform their principal duty responsibly. Find unity in this. March in the streets for this. Occupy the Capitol for this. It's our future. It's our tax dollars, and like it or not, it's our debt.

When you are reaching out to voters in the middle about the only tool you have is their pocketbook. Many people will hold their nose and vote if they believe that person will help their station in life financially. A platform to raise taxes and dole out more government entitlements is not going to impress many on the fence.

So Democrats aren't actually vociferously against the ballooning of the deficit.

They're actually quite to deficit ballooning proponent if they money was spent how they want.

You stop that , how are we supposed to have a good argument when you bring in facts like that ? Be gone . 😉

Trump and Congress gave me a 2000 dollar raise in 2018. I’d like to keep that raise, keep my crumbs as that hag from Cali likes to call it.

I'll say it again - if tariff's are a negotiating tool to get to freer trade I'm fine with them for a limited period of time. If they are the new normal to protect some industries at the expense of others then I'm against them. So far, they have been positioned as the former and we see the result in several new trade deals being completed. We shall see when it comes to China.

It's a nice way to reconcile what Trump's doing with conservative ideology, but the fact of the matter is the USMCA is not freer trade than NAFTA, so it's time to start calling Trump to the carpet. Do you really think he's going to make freer trade with China and replace the TPP with freer trade after what we saw with the USMCA?

Trump's buddies like Carl Icahn are investing in ramping up steel production...is he going to say to them "just kidding guys, we got a deal with China now, so we're buying their steel again." Knowing everything we know, that just doesn't seem plausible.
