Do Rep Voters Honestly Believe that the BBB Will Benefit Them?

This time they managed to corral the conservatives whining about the deficit who refused to vote for any budget bill. Thus they didn't have to go to Democrats for votes and could pass a lower level of spending.

Those tax rates were set to expire because they could not be made permanent under reconciliation the first time around. When passed, Trump and Republicans assumed Trump would have two terms and the Dems would likely handle the fallout.

But now they have to handle it. And instead of doing that, they are making the tax cut permanent at a 3.3T cost of the deficit.

The deficit and debt will increase because these cuts were never meant to be permanent. They are not sustainable even with massive spending cuts. Republicans just proved that the level of spending cuts required to get the deficit under control are not viable politically. The only answer is tax increases, and instead of addressing the issue, they are kicking the can down the road and massively increasing the deficit and rate of increase to the debt.

No. The answer is to stop spending our money! It's not the government's money, it's not your money, etc. It's our money, and they can reduce the deficit by cutting programs that don't improve anything and arent working. All this foreign aid has bought us nothing but the hate of the nations we give it to. Covering medical bills of poor people has brought nothing but a growing "eat the rich" mentality. So no more. You want class warfare- or more accurately warfare between people who want to live and work honestly and those who don't-- you've got it now. We aren't duped. We know what we are doing.

You still don't get it, and you obviously DON'T know what you're doing, because they are going to be spending A LOT MORE of "your money."

Explain to me how, by me being able to keep an additional 66k for every million in income, I am losing money. Please. Be specific.

The bill adds trillions of dollars to the debt. By 2032 the national debt will be about $50 trillion because of this bill.

Taxpayers already pay a trillion interest a year on our debt. 1) your taxes will go to pay even more interest on the debt because this adds to that burden. Interest on the debt is going to increase more. 2) the bill makes the SS trust fund run out a year earlier in 2032. Do you think Congress is going to let a bunch of seniors SS check get cut when the trust fund runs out? Hell no. How do you pay for it? Increase taxes or run even more debt.

Once again, this is a prediction. It is not fact.
There are economists who believe this is not true.
Remember - many of these same people predicting gloom regarding the debt also said tariffs would lead to inflation and a recession.
They are still waiting for that to happen...... (It ain't gonna happen.)

The tariffs haven't really gone into effect yet. It's always 90 days, 90 more days. They keep getting extended. The CBO said that $3T will be added to the debt.

Companies are not reshoring, they are going out of business. You can't run a business with uncertainty.

Or a doctor. We need incentives for more primary care providers, not barriers.

Are they really that gullible?

I give no effs about lazy losers on Medicaid.

There are significant benefits to this bill for the not-rich average American. My DH is a LEO and the no tax on overtime will be huge in our house, we were doing the math on that last night. I expect a lot of middle class people who work an hourly wage will find this benefit substantial.

Deductions for social security is also a big winner.

I am a small business owner and the depreciation of 100% now for equipment is huge. So is the pass through deduction of 20%.

So no we aren’t gullible or stupid, we just know how to read.

The "you guys are fools!" were telling us a mere year ago that Biden was perfectly healthy and that any suggestion otherwise was a "right wing talking point." And any video evidence that he was unsteady on his feet was a "cheap fake." Then they told us that if President Trump were reelected, he would somehow rescind the rights of black people and they would be sent to camps. They said that once he got into office, he would declare martial law. They were urging people to get their passports ready to flee the country! They said our economy would crash and burn. And Biden and Hillary both said that if we elected Trump, it would be our last election ever. Now they want us to believe their vague and unspecified claims that we misunderstand the BBB situation and that actually, by giving us money they will be taking our money. And we, they assess, are the uneducated morons. Lol.

As a black person, I can tell you that he has sent us back decades. I promise you that he would lose the vast majority of black and brown people.

How has he set you back decades?

Not true. A 10% base tariff has been in effect, and collected over $200 billion.

Compliment for Trump.

I also love how Trump now has democrats, for the first time in history, talking like deficit hawks. He should start advocating for no border security, DEI, and transgender surgeries for pet parrots. The left will be far right in no time.

I also love how Republicans have been completely exposed as deficit hawk frauds. As we’ve been reminded here over and over, the Republicans control all branches of government right now…and that’s what they passed. They’re frauds.

Hardly the first time in history. You must not have been born when Reagan was president. He tripled the annual deficit.

Still waiting for that trickle down that started in the 1980s
