I will never understand how Americans are dumb enough to believe you can cut taxes and pay off the deficit.
If your cuts to programs are greater than the loss from cutting taxes it’s absolutely possible. That’s simple math. Not that I agree with trump obviously but your argument is flawed.
Oh I agree. Also some of these programs are pretty important. And even the less important ones exist for a reason. I’m not necessarily against trimming the fat but it should be given more consideration than “CLOSE ALL THE THINGS!!”
They have to worry that higher taxes will cause the economy to slow down. Some economists think this is bullshit, and it probably is. But the wealthy will definitely find tax havens and bring their money there, wherever it is in the world. Look at Switzerland.
if only there were some way to prevent this…shame, regulating financial markets properly is one of those many (seemingly) unique problems only the US has
other countries financial markets are much more locked down relative to the US, especially after 2000-2008. or when they do allow for the real degenerate stuff…they try and limit the damage to just other gambling degenerates
naked shorting especially, banned or heavily restricted in most countries now…because…why the fuck should anyone be able to sell something they domt have again? which is still pretty much a free-for-all in the US.
this is by design though, our unregulated financial markets is why the US acts is the world center for “finance”. our markets essentially act as the worlds largest casino, where all the richest degenerates come to gamble trying to make their lines go up more than everyone elses.

I couldn’t find the specifics in a quick Google search, and since this is OOTL I guess I’ll ask here.
And I know I’m about to be shit on for even asking, genuinely, what are the parts of the bill that will hurt people?
All the articles I could find were just how trump would weaponize the shutdown, nothing I could find stated the specifics of the bill.

Genuinely curious how it seems unique to the US. To me it seems unique to the global elite.
