"The GOP Tax Cuts Didn’t Work"

There are Republicans in the House who aren't even behind NAFTA II, which is largely just an update of NAFTA I, and that hardly explains why the tax cut didn't work

Confronting China was necessary, but getting into a trade war might not have been the brightest way to do it as we are finding out now, but don't worry, come I'd say next Spring Trump will get his photo op saying the trade war is over and China gave up even though the final details revealed later will show nothing substantial was really accomplished, kinda like his big deal with North Korea
Actually, China will be very happy that they drove the price of soybeans into the ground, and will be happy to buy them at a bargain.
 
Tax cuts helped -expecially the corporate taxes that bring US taxes in line with other nations
( IOW high taxes lead to outsourcing)

I still think (can't document) the deregulation was much more important -
it changes the entire business climate to one much more friendly to business

How can you say "it helped" when GDP growth has declined to less than 2 percent, business investment has now declined for two straight quarters dragging down economic growth and the federal deficit exceeds $1 trillion?

And the regulation thing is just talking points, for the most part, not all, but a large part of it, what you call deregulation was actually a loss of consumer protection
 
Tax reform and reducing spending are two different things.

Perhaps, but common sense dictates you don't cut taxes and spend more at the same time, and if tax reform was necessary, it appears the manner the Trump tax cut did it isn't working
 
Lowest unemployment is 60 years. Lowest black unemployment ever! OP is a buffoon! :laugh:

Pay attention, unemployment has been declining since 2010, Trump just caught the wave, and those aren't the jobs Trump promised that are being created
 
I never wanted nor needed handouts. I am not a Democrat. Unlike you welfare loving queens, I can stand on my own two feet. You should try it.

I never wanted nor needed handouts either, and I am a Democrat, nor have I seen attending to those less fortunate, a religious thing, ever affected the quality of my life, problem with you conservatives is that you are more worried about what you think others are getting than what you already have

And you lie through your teeth.
 
Hardly, I am a Democrat, and never had a need for what you call handouts, not my fault you can't accept the truth

People only vote Democrat to get more free shit paid for by others. You can stop the charade. Even they admit it.

Really, that is funny considering a large number of the Blue States, run by Democrats, have to assist a large number of the Red States, run by Republicans, pay for that "free shit paid for by others"

That is just another fallacy. And you should pay more anyway. You tax to much and provide nothing for it.
 
"Donald Trump’s signature legislative achievement was the corporate-tax cut he signed in 2017. Republicans said it would grow the economy by up to 6 percent, stimulate business investment, and pay for itself."

"None of those promises have come to pass. GDP growth has declined to less than 2 percent according to the latest report, released yesterday. Business investment has now declined for two straight quarters, dragging down economic growth. And the federal deficit exceeds $1 trillion."

How many times will the right fall for the supply side Laffer curve nonsense? Just a lot of "voodoo economics" promoted by a few to enrich the even fewer. Trump knew exactly what he was doing the night his tax cut passed when he told his supporters gathered at Mar-a-Lago that "you all got a lot richer"

And the crime of it is that Trump added trillions to the National Debt in the midst of a progressing economy that future generations will pay

They were outstanding for me.

Funny you didn't mention the trillions Obama added to the debt.

That is funny considering the red states often named by lefties have blue districts in them that are the poorest and largest users, by far, of social welfare programs.

Alabama 7th - 22% food stamp use in the only blue district. Closest red district is 16%
Mississippi 2nd - 22% food stamp use in the only blue district. Closest red district is 15%
SC 6th - 19% food stamp use in one of two blue districts. Closest red district - 15%
Tennessee 9th - 22% food stamp use in one of two blue districts. Closest red is 15%

Each of those blue districts has another demographic in common. Want to guess what it is?

HORSE SHIT. RECORD LOW UNEMPLOYMENT. MARKETS SOARING, as COMMODITIES ALSO ON THE RISE, which is typically not the case. Commodities usually go UP when the market goes down, and vice versa.


CURRENT ANNUAL GDP GROWTH 2.7% = IDEAL....steady growth, with BOTH growth and WAGE INCREASES OUTPACING INFLATION.

Of course they didn't

Honest and intelligent people said two years ago they wouldn't work as advertised

The entire intent was to vastly reduce the tax burden on the wealthy and the oligarchs
 
Can the "easy to win" trade war explain the less than two percent growth? The only thing seemingly keeping some economic indicators up is consumer spending, and how long is that going to continue if circumstances continue to remain stagnant?

Point being it is pretty hard to find results for Trump's tax cut especially in the realm of what he promised

How did they work for you personally? They worked great for me(solid middle class). If you noticed no difference, you probably don't make enough to pay taxes, or maybe your taxes went up because you're nudging that 1% bracket? Trump said taxes for the upper brackets were going to go up(like his). As to the trade war, after the tax cuts and the slashing of regulations, the economy went on a tear. What better time to have a war than when your army has been rebuilt? You want to stop the war? Do you want to roll over and show china your belly, hoping they'll give you a belly rub and not shove a knife in your gut? And of course we can't ignore the 2020 election, which this is all about, right? Trump's "failure" on the economy? Okay, what's the jackass clown car gonna do? From what I've heard, tax hikes and draconian regulations. Boy, that really supercharges an economy, doesn't it!! What are your guys gonna do about the USMCA? Got to let it just fade away, right? It's all icky and tainted with Trump cooties!
