If huge cuts for everybody in order to preserve tax breaks for the wealthy seems like a bad deal to you, let your Senators know
Spending is going up. Taxes are not. This means supply is going up and demand isn’t. So the value of the dollar will go down - inflation.
The corporations who own this government want to force you to invest with them, or die homeless. Will you?
I feel like some of this is fundamentally wrong. Like it says such and such saves money, but cutting that program costs untold amounts as a consequence.
Like you can save money by not paying your phone bill, but then you don’t have a working phone.
So the nyt probably sucks by not making that clear to readers.
Bonus, a lot of the benefits to billionaires occur immediately and the costs will appear later, so it will look (to the blind) like Trump did great and the next guy fucked up bad.
cuts off arm I just lost 12lbs!!
These are strictly the numbers as they are on paper. The CBO and other groups USED to be in charge of doing the long-term math to find the real costs of bills, but of course they’ve been kneecapped to do that good work.
I do not believe any of the savings will not actually turn out to be additional costs.
GOP-lead federal US government just obliterated 7 billion dollars of taxpayers’ funds on an ineffectual theatrical Big Bombing Boondoggle against Iran’s nonexistent nuclear bomb building program—savings beyond belief!!!
Well now I’m sure it’s going to pass if billionaires want it.
