Yes the Progressives proposes 6 trillion but cheapskates like Chuck Schurmur are cheating us out of literally trillions in free money while people are dyingIs that the entire budget?
That’s impressive because last year we spent 6T and in 2019 we spent 4.4T.Yes the Progressives proposes 6 trillion but cheapskates like Chuck Schurmur are cheating us out of literally trillions in free money while people are dying
No..they already passed the 1.5 trillionIs that the entire budget?
Those are rookie numbers we need to spend 20 trillion this yearThat’s impressive because last year we spent 6T and in 2019 we spent 4.4T.
When was that? If so, we cut it by 1T last year and we are up a bit from 2019. Sounds like improvement. Now if we can just stop the tax cheats, we can slow down these massive deficits over the last 4 years.No..they already passed the 1.5 trillion
it's only julyWhen was that? If so, we cut it by 1T last year and we are up a bit from 2019. Sounds like improvement. Now if we can just stop the tax cheats, we can slow down these massive deficits over the last 4 years.
So the budget is not a fiscal year?it's only july
There is a 1.2T infrastructure plan that was negotiated by a bipartisan group of senators. That is a proposal at this point and includes options to cover the investment.Wasn't it infrastructure only?
When was that? If so, we cut it by 1T last year and we are up a bit from 2019. Sounds like improvement. Now if we can just stop the tax cheats, we can slow down these massive deficits over the last 4 years.
The fiscal year starts in October, right? July sounds about right for a budget proposal.So the budget is not a fiscal year?
Yeah tax cheats are the problem, not spending.When was that? If so, we cut it by 1T last year and we are up a bit from 2019. Sounds like improvement. Now if we can just stop the tax cheats, we can slow down these massive deficits over the last 4 years.
Cant disagree more on the $0 paid by Amazon. If they are operating according to the tax laws and investing back into their business to grow it thus rewarding thousands of other businesses and workers with jobs. That is a great model. Once they peak and hold they will either generate profits that are taxed or they will dispurse their profits to shareholders who will be taxed.Both spending increases and revenue decrease are a problem. Before Covid the deficit was to exceed $1 trillion due to these two reasons:
1) spending increased from prior year. Only 4 Federal fiscal year no deficits since 1970 was in Clinton’s last 4 years of office. Every other year the Fed give ran a deficit - BOTH R’s and D’s are to be blamed for this.
2) revenue decreased (tax collection $$$) due to the tax the 2017 tax reform (Amazon & 50+ Fortune 500 companies who paid $0 Fed tax).
Corporate taxes definitely needed reduced but to allow a company such as Amazon to pay $0 Fed taxes two years in a row - someone should have ran some #’s on how the new tax laws would work.
A third party in the US has long been over due - both are equally pathetic.
Spending is a huge problem. Trump was the worst.Yeah tax cheats are the problem, not spending.
2019 was definitive proof that Trumps economic model was a show.D4fan - We will just have to agree to disagree then. Should they get a tax break if they are providing jobs, yes & Im completely fine with that. Should they pay $0 - completely not fine with that. Everything you said can be true and sounds great…..yet it didn’t happen. The Fed govt deficit increased to over $1 trillion dollars in 2019 before Covid.
I didn't comment on the deficit. Sure we were overspending prior to Covid. But to me that is unrelated to who is paying taxes.D4fan - We will just have to agree to disagree then.

1) thanks to the Republican controlled Congress.Both spending increases and revenue decrease are a problem. Before Covid the deficit was to exceed $1 trillion due to these two reasons:

NOPE.The radical libs trying to crush this country have advanced this colossal disaster. Is there even one real American in congress on the democrat side who will do the right thing?
There seems to be some of the moderates starting to squawk a little but in the end Nancy will beat the crap out of the little moderate sissy's and get it passed.NOPE.
What is the right thing? You don't think we need to improve our infrastructure? About 45% of all bridges in the US are over 50 years old. there are more than 47,000 bridges that are structurally deficient. Is that the right thing? The US has more power outages than any other developed country. Is that the right thing? Our Freight trains are allowed to go 70-80mph but our rail system is so bad that most go about 40-50mph max. Is that the right thing. Other countries have trains that go over 200mph.The radical libs trying to crush this country have advanced this colossal disaster.

No, it doesn't help. You never answer a question. I'm not talking a specific bill. I'm talking things that need to get done. I could list things for days that need done. Republicans/ conservatives are just against things. Do you think that it is acceptable that 47000 bridges in The USA are not safe? Is it acceptable that we have the most power outages because our power grid is a joke? It's those type of things that made the USA great. The sky is falling. You have no idea why "both bills are a disaster."The $3.5 trillion bill is not related to the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill (of which only about $400 billion is actually for infrastructure).
Both bills are a disaster.
Hope this helps.
