From @paulkrugman.substack.com "U.S. #debt would be much lower as a percentage of #GDP ... without the revenue loss from #taxcuts enacted by #Republican presidents: George W. #Bush in the 2000s, then Donald #Trump during both of his terms."

"it will be very expensive to extract, which is why big energy companies are asking for tax cuts to do it. It won’t even be good for jobs – Jackdaw will only create 27 direct full time jobs in total."

I don’t need a #taxcut. What I need is for my taxes to go to things that benefit me & other average Americans — #lowerprices, #healthcare, etc. & not the #ultrarich.

So once again, evidence the "conservatives" lying about the impact of their policies (NB: these are #NotConservatives, these are #fascists masquerading as consrvatives)
Killing the most vulnerable around the world to finance #TaxCuts for the #wealthy is NOT conservative.

#SocialSecurity shortfall expected to accelerate, with funds at critical low in 2032
The shortfall will be driven in part by a drop in #immigration due to #Trump policies & by Trump’s #TaxCuts for corporations & the #wealthy, trustees say, resulting in “trimmed” [we’re all #SOL] #benefits.

"Did Trump’s hatchet job on healthcare, education, food assistance, and other public services and egregious tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans deliver the prosperity and economic growth that he promised so effusively?
You’ll be just shocked to learn the answer is…no, of course not.
Time to log on."
Read the report for the rest of this sordid story.

"It’s been one year since the Republican Party rammed Donald Trump’s Big Awful Bill through Congress without a single Democratic vote, slashing taxes for the wealthy and gutting an array of popular public programs to pay for it."

"The economy was good. Wokeness was defeated."
The overweening greed of a cadre of super-rich men (and some women) and the captivity of media to those super-rich men (and some women) are among the most sordid stories of this sordid period of history. Such high, fine protestations of intellectua superiority and ethical insight — belied in such obvious ways by their bewhavior.

"America’s cultural elites needed a tool to stop progress. Sure, he was deranged. Sure, he was a criminal and a traitor. But the consequences of his reelection were unlikely to touch the elites while the consequences of the alternative very much would. So his liabilities were sanewashed & after he won, the press corps manufactured a consensus in which everything was going to be fine."

"We are now seeing the consequences of electing a cognitively impaired president – a democracy in tatters, a country at war, an economy on the brink – but that was the risk that the owners of the country’s most lucrative media properties were willing to take."

So Democrats like Corey Booker want to offer tax cuts to working Americans.
That's pennies compared to what the rich steal from us every day. Our tax cuts won't amount to a fraction of what the people need. What we NEED is 100% taxes on the wealthy, including their wealth as well as their income. Ditto for corporations.
This is just another trick by Democrats to keep capitalism surviving and exploiting us all.

"They explain how underwriting political campaigns from those for local school boards to the presidency has enabled the very wealthy to lock in their policy preferences for tax cuts, deregulation, and cuts to the social safety net while also steering valuable government contracts to themselves."

'We’re told we don’t have enough money for anyone who isn’t already a millionaire or a billionaire.
But we have a spare billion dollars to blow up each day?
Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. had it right as he stood in the pulpit at the Riverside Church in New York City: 'A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.'”

"Meanwhile, we’re told we don’t have enough money to provide health care subsidies to the working poor. We’re told we don’t have enough money to provide food for children who are hungry. We’re told we don’t have enough money to fully fund public education. We’re told we don’t have enough money to care for those who are unhoused and struggling with mental or physical disabilities."

"There’s been lots of death and destruction — including at a girls’ elementary school we bombed — and it has only brought more chaos and uncertainty to the region. More than 1,000 civilians are believed to be dead in this war. And the United States is estimated to be spending nearly $1 billion a day on this war. Yes, that’s billion with a 'b' every day."
