[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What higher deficit?  They largely kept the same tax rates.
There would have been a higher debt no matter what budget passed, as we saw with all the CRs the last 15 years.
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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

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."[/quote]

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. [/quote]

[b]The bill adds trillions of dollars to the debt.[/b] 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. [/quote]

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.) 
[/quote]

Fiscal conservatives (as opposed to phony conservatives like MAGA)  hate this bill. They love the permanent tax rates. They hate the debt load of this bill.  [/quote]
