Unfortunately for 45, (or his advisers, rather) there are people in Congress who know - or have access to people who know - about the difference between static and dynamic scoring. Wink And if his 'plans' aren't cost-neutral................

www.npr.org/2017/04/26/525742495/trump-administration-proposes-significant-tax-overhaul-and-tax-cut-plan

So they've thrown us peons a dry bone whilst giving the rich and corporations a number of nice big tax breaks and reductions. It's 'trickle down' and 'supply side' economics all over again. It didn't work then, it won't work now. Oh, by 'didn't work' I mean it certainly won't help the middle class and will probably hurt the poorest among us. But that's OK. Because the 1% will make out like bandits and, after all, they're the ones who matter.

Oh, and experts have already said that interest rates will go up if this passes, so any tax 'reduction' for the middle/lower classes will be wiped out by higher consumer interest rates (bye bye property ladder!) and higher prices since businesses will claim they have to 'pay more in interest' for materials (despite a 20% tax cut) so they 'have' to raise prices.

Fuck Trump and the horse he rode in on!!!

GingerIvy · 26/04/2017 21:33

Across It will increase the debt for years - I don't think it will pass based on that alone.

cozietoesie · 26/04/2017 21:36

I don't think the markets are impressed, Ginger.

(I say that because 45 is, allegedly, very conscious of them.)
