Well for starters......
You copy and pasted this so item b applies.
But also...
Pigeon.
Chess.

 

And as I said shootersa it is a very cowardly and childish thing to call someone a liar when in fact the only one lying is you.

The figures I posted some from the Congressional Budget Office and are far from lies. They are their best estimates.

And you simply cannot handle the truth.

 

Or Taxes!!!

 

And don't you have to just laugh your ass off at conservatives who say they care about the budget deficit and national debt. Just fucking hilarious they would run around trying to tell that lie.

U.S. Budget Deficit Expected to Surpass $1 Trillion by 2020

 

The military has to be funded with money. What we do not fund our military in taxes we fund it with the deficits Republicans only complain about when a Democrat is president.

 

If it wasn't for Democrats, there wouldn't be any deficits.

 

How do you figure? Deficit spending only became a problem when Reagan cut taxes for the rich while raising military spending.

Polls indicate popular support for raising taxes on the rich and little support for specific cuts in domestic spending.

The New York Post is considered to be a conservative newspaper.

New York Post, October 11, 2017

WASHINGTON – As President Donald Trump promotes a tax plan that critics say would raise the federal deficit by slashing corporate rates and eliminating some taxes paid by the rich, some three-quarters of Americans believe the wealthiest should pay more, Reuters/Ipsos polling shows...

Independent analysts have said Trump’s blueprint would provide uneven tax relief, add to the federal budget deficit, and in some cases, benefit the very wealthy.

Taxpayers in the highest 1 percent of incomes, making more than $730,000 annually, for example, would receive about half of the total benefit from Trump’s proposed overhaul, with their after-tax income expected to increase an average of 8.5 percent, according to the Tax Policy Center, a Washington-based nonprofit.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted from Sept. 29 to Oct. 5 found that 53 percent of adults “strongly agree” that the wealthiest Americans should pay higher tax rates.

An additional 23 percent “somewhat agree” the wealthiest should pay higher tax rates, according to the poll of 1,504 people, which had a credibility interval, a measure of accuracy, of plus or minus 6 percentage points.

Morning Consult, March 22, 2017

Americans would like to see their government spend more on domestic programs, particularly education and health care.

A Morning Consult/POLITICO survey of registered voters conducted over the weekend found popular support for more domestic spending across the board...

Roughly 6 in 10 Americans support increasing funding for health care programs (58 percent) and education (60 percent). That includes nearly 7 in 10 Democrats (69 percent on education, 67 percent on health care) and more than half of Republicans (54 percent on education, 53 percent on health care).

Daily Intelligencer, March 7, 2018\

In February, the Trump tax cuts took effect, a large majority of Americans saw their take-home pay increase — and Democrats reassumed a nearly double-digit lead in the generic ballot, the president’s approval rating tumbled, and, according to two new polls, support for the tax law fell.

Since late January, approval of the tax law in Monmouth University’s survey fell by three points to 41 percent – while the Democrats’ lead in the 2018 race swelled by seven, from a mere 2 percent to 9. Meanwhile, Quinnipiac’s latest poll has support for the tax law declining three points to 36 percent, and opposition rising three points to 50 percent.

 

And actually by this point there is no way you can really be this ignorant. Not when myself and others have proven over and over and over again that budget deficits and the national debt grow under Republicans and shrink when Democrats are in control.

Which is even more true when Republicans control the presidency and both houses of congress for 6 years and create the Great Recession which cost the country and Americans Trillions of dollars.

 

As much as I respect your judgment stumbler, I think CS natureboy really is that ignorant.

 

Awright.
Settle down.
It serves no purpose to point fingers and blame the other side for the debt.
No single party can possibly run up this much debt in such a short period of time.
It takes a Congress to do that.
Filled with self serving robbers on both sides of the aisle.
The question is, what do we do about it?

In Shooter's view, pretty simple;
A balanced budget requirement.
A budget every fucking year.
Including a plan to pay down the debt.
And until the debt is paid down to less than 1% of GDP Congress can't pass any new programs unless the funding source is identified, and it can't be "general revenues".

 

shootersa,

Do you approve of cutting taxes for the rich and corporations while raising defense spending? Democrats in Congress are not responsible for that. Republicans in Congress are. So is our Republican president.

A balanced budget amendment is like a resolution to begin an exercise and diet program six months from now, while in the mean time eating potato chips and drinking soda while watching television for six hours a day.

 

*Stupid question deserves stupid answer;
Why yes, yes indeed. Shooter is all for giving the rich greedy fat cats and their corporations tax cuts and increasing military spending. Lets do that! By all means! And while we're at it, lets cut benefits to orphans and widows and our disabled Veterans! Oh, and we simply must increase benefits and reduce oversight regulations for Congress!!!

No, Republicans are not the only ones all for tax cuts for rich greedy fuckers. Democrats are rich greedy fuckers as well and have voted for the tax bill you are apparently referring to. It takes Congress to fuck this up this badly, and it takes many years, can't do it in just one administration.

A balanced budget amendment is a start. We simply must require Congress to start living within it's means and stop spending it like they got it.
Republicans can't do it alone, and Democrats can't do it alone. They gotta get their shit together and they can't do that with so many robbers in congress.
So join the fucking revolution and lets get started.

 

So hey guys is most the money corporations have received out of the tax cuts going to increasing wages or stock buy backs?

 

Tax reform already boosting the fortunes of Nevada workers


3/28/18

To celebrate the passage of the historic tax law, which President Trump signed in December, Prospector Hotel & Gambling Hall in Ely is giving its full-time employees $500 bonuses and raising wages across the board. Kalb Industries, a Nevada construction company, is giving nearly every employee a raise. Health care giant CVS Pharmacy, which has over 100 locations across the state, is raising its hourly wage, granting full-time employees four weeks of parental leave, and absorbing increases in health care premiums.

And Walmart, which employs almost 15,000 Nevadans, raised its hourly pay and gave employees bonuses of up to $1,000.

Nevadans will see more than just short-term bonuses and raises. The benefits of tax reform will reverberate throughout the economy for years to come.

The centerpiece of the tax law was a major reduction in the corporate tax rate. Previously, the United States had a corporate tax rate of 35 percent, the highest in the developed world. That uncompetitive tax rate devastated the American economy.

If our corporate tax rate had been 20 percent between 2004 and 2016, an estimated 5,000 companies that left the United States would have stayed, according to a report by accounting firm EY.

With the new legislation, the corporate tax rate has dropped to 21 percent. That is spurring businesses to expand.

The rate cuts already are bearing fruit. Apple just broke ground on a new warehouse in Reno. Thanks in part to tax reform, Apple plans to invest $350 billion and create 20,000 jobs in the United States over the next half-decade.

Developers have decided to restart construction on the $3 billion Fontainebleau resorton the Las Vegas Strip. The project had stalled in 2009. The development will bring 10,000 jobs to Southern Nevada.

All this business spending – along with the increased bonuses, raises and employee benefits – will further stimulate the economy. Economic growth is set to snowball thanks to America's more competitive tax rate.

Management at Las Vegas hotel-casino South Point know this growth will mean more tourists and more revenue. Tax reform "will have a monumental effect on our economy and, in turn, our property," South Point owner Michael Gaughan recently told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. To reward and retain its workers, South Point decided to double the bonuses received by its 2,300 full-time employees.

The lower tax rate will also attract foreign companies. Chinese and European officials have already expressed concern about losing companies to the United States.

Some politicians continue to claim the middle-class only receives "crumbs" from tax reform. Republicans like Sen. Dean Heller, who voted for the tax overhaul, know that's not true. He understood that spurring business investment would juice the economy and improve the lives of everyday workers.
