It's only another 5% more debt than where we are now. Once the water is over your head, it really doesn't matter how deep it is.
We will see......I have a bad feeling.....
I am glad to be retired. No more diesel tool trucks to maintain. lol
Percentages are deceptive..

Oh yeah, I have a bad feeling too. Based on the information available about it right now, my tax bill is going to go UP by more than $6000 annually.
The upper middle class is going to take it in the teeth.
Sure is. And the President gets a billion dollar tax break. Good going.

The tax code has always had built-in resistance to keep the middle from moving up with the way rates are calculated. It was always designed to keep making more money from getting back into your pocket. Now it's going to be even worse. The structure now will do even more to keep the middle firmly in the middle and not break out.
The financial divide is about to become larger.

The middle class will always be the "workers" The upper class makes the rules in their favor and therefore has loopholes to sidestep taxes. The lower class use government programs to stay alive whether they work or not. The middle class works, makes the money and pays the taxes to keep the whole thing going.
Yep. All good points. But keep in mind, eventually that'll break. Eventually it'll bite them in ***.
Yup. Middle class does the most work.
Up here, they are tightening the gaps for small business,likely less write-offs and higher taxes.

The really insane part is that if they had only reduced the corporate rate to 25% instead of 20%, they could have made it benefit all and not added very much to the debt.
A 30% reduction in corporate taxes would do every bit as much to stimulate the economy as a 40% reduction will.

If it does anything at all. We WILL see.
Every president has added to the deficit. It's a fact, regardless of political party. Heck the last one more than tripled it from 6 trillion to nearly 20 trillion.
Also the largest shift of wealth happened post 2008/2009 recession according to most economists. So it's also nothing new.
Biggest question is when will people finally have enough and what will they do

Every legitimate economist out there says the impact will be minor at best. Every CEO that I know has said they won't be plowing the gains back into the economy in any significant way. The money will just fill the corporate coffers and be used to pay down debt or buy back stock. The money will never get out of their control and find its way into the economy.
This is just designed to buy votes from the masses in the lower end by giving them a few bucks back in their pockets while the rich get richer. The guys at the top will be better able to fund campaigns and the gained votes will come from the bottom and lower middle.

Nothing. People are generally myopic sheep when it comes to this stuff...and politicians know it.
