    The complexity is one of its biggest problems
    Same with health care.
    But we were told there was a tremendous plan?

    LOL.

    Objectively, what is worth being mad about in regards to keeping more of the monies you earned?

    If it works, I'm happy. If Obama had rolled this out and it worked, I would have been happy.

    It just seems that bias really blinds common sense sometimes, by and by. I don't buy into people caring about the others that this (really doesn't) effects or the debt or anything else. People will be angry to be angry because they understand anger and bias better than happiness and buying with their hard earned monies.
    Anger is easier than happiness.

    You and Boots, opposite side of the political spectrum, same worldview.
    Its beautiful.

    basically. we're going to operate under debt for a long time, but its not unreasonable to at least try to reign in the deficit... but neither party has been good at doing so for about 20 years now.

    if trump wants to cut taxes and cut spending... staying tried and true to their "muh small government" claims, it would be one thing. but instead they dont curtail the spending, and insist that cutting taxes wont cut tax revenue because of the trickle down magic.

    What world view is that? Boots' view is from that of a loner with hints of sociopath.

    Markets appear to be about as impressed as I am.

    "Based on the detail we have, the plan would add enormously to American debt. The view of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (a bipartisan group that includes Paul Volcker and David Stockman, Reagan's budget director) was

    Even with the detailed portions of the plan, there are not enough parameters specified to provide a certain revenue estimate of the tax plan. But making some assumptions based on prior proposals, our best rough estimate suggests the specified parts of the plan would cost $5.5 trillion. Assuming tax break limits only apply only to higher earners, that cost could be as high as $7 trillion; assuming credits and exclusions are eliminated as well as deductions, it would cost $3 trillion.With interest costs, a $5.5 trillion tax plan would be enough to increase debt to 111 percent of Gross Domestic Product (compared to 89 percent of GDP in the Congressional Budget Office's baseline) by 2027. That would be higher than any time in U.S. history, and no achievable amount of economic growth could finance it.

    Magic being the operative word.

    We have tried the trickle down thing. It just doesn't work. The growth assumptions underlying the administrations projections are pure fantasy.

    Reminds me of the time I asked mavfan1000 why they don't crack down on the people who hire the illegals and he said they were good job creators and the illegals were the problem

    both of them do come off as classic type that thinks cutting taxes for the rich is going to magically turn their ty paycheck to paycheck lives around.

    Oh! A guy who spent his entire life lining his pockets with middle class money has convincing reasons why economically screwing the middle class ultimately helps them! What a surprise!

    Maybe next you can link to an article en led "Why Date Rape Drugs Are Beneficial For The Female Immune System" by Bill Cosby.

    you do know youre an idiot right?

    youve just accepted it in your old age and have decided to own it right? like a goofy uncle thing where you know youre a dork and youre embarrassing your niece in front of her friends but you walk around shirtless with your hairy ginger gut hanging out anyway?

    is that what youre doing here? amusing yourself?

    so his argument is that the middle class getting stronger in the 1930s after the New Deal was passed and after we started to heavily tax the rich is somehow proof that trickle down economics works?

    You're really re ed.
