No, the trillions added the debt are unfortunately a fact. I'm sorry you're trolling so hard. I'm sure you're actually intelligent enough to understand this, and you're just lying on the internet to spread confusion. |
Which lower ones? |
Tell me what you want to cut. We just cut foreign aid (check). We just fired lots of federal employees (check). The nation’s deficit will still be higher this year because of the aging population, more defense spending and more interest on the debt and because of this bill. Tell me what you want to cut to bring spending down. When the trust fund runs out in 2032, the two main answers are raise taxes or cut benefits. |
Get outside and touch some grass, simpletons. It's a beautiful day. |
A lot of farm subsidies. For example, tax subsidies incentivize farmers to use a horrific hog farming method that pollutes groundwater and has led to an increase in cancer in places like Iowa. I'd like to stop funding that. Ethanol. Subsidies to processed food manufacturers. Reduce subsidies for higher education because it is leading to escalating education prices. Also we can increase revenue. We can build a better tax base. We need to be far smarter about funding than we are now because we dont have enough babies to sustain this. |
You realize the cuts to foreign aid and federal employees saved tiny amounts of money? In fact, the cuts to federal employees increase cost for the near term. If you want to cut cost, you need to cut military spending, social security, ICE's new budget, or substantially cut the debt by raising taxes on those with enormous amounts of disposable income. So which is it? |
I’ll gladly cut farm subsidies but this bill just made them more expensive. Do you think red states are going to let republicans cut their farm subsidies? And it’s still not enough to make up the hole when trust fund runs out. I’d love a low broad tax base. The new temporary tax cuts in this bill for OT and tips and seniors go the opposite direction. They’re terrible tax policy and just populist giveaways that aren’t pro-growth. |
Keeping my own income is not redistribution. Jesus Christ people. |
Farmers The actual welfare queens |
Omg. For the love of god go read this bill. It increases money for farm subsidies. Increases subsidies for ethanol. Because Republicans always take care of their farmers. And it cuts loan limits and Pell grants. The loan limits are one of the few good thing in this bill. But those minuscule “savings” are already in this bill that adds trillions to the debt. So it is Still not an answer to what will you cut when the trust fund runs out in 2032. |
Great! Let me know when you want to fund your own army. |
I guess you don't know how tax subsidies work. And how these provisions are nothing but grand distorters of the economy. |
The close to 1 million in federal taxes I’ve paid during my lifetime covers that. |
You sure showed OP. This bill also benefits people making multiple millions a year in income. It’s truly for the middle class! |
Cool. Marking you down for no tax hikes; prefers cuts to SS and Medicare. |
