very thin.

how can you 'shift' costs to the states that were supposed to be the states' costs in the first place?

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5744949&forum_id=2Reputation#49064634)

The proposed cuts come from forcing families and individuals to bear higher costs and more red tape, and by imposing new costs on our state budgets. This is particularly risky as we face many economic headwinds and an increased risk of recession. Ultimately, forcing states to shoulder new costs without support from the federal government will negatively impact workers and families, veterans, seniors, and people with disabilities across every community in every state.

The cuts to Medicaid would be particularly damaging. The increased red-tape requirements misleadingly labeled “work requirements”–proposed even though almost all Medicaid recipients already work, are in school, are disabled or otherwise cannot work–would have the effect of ending the federal Medicaid eligibility of up to five million people next year alone. That reduced enrollment would lead to some half a trillion dollars in reduced federal funding over 10 years, funding that states who wanted to keep their residents insured would have to make up through higher taxes or cuts to other important public services. Those state budget cuts could include reducing money-saving Medicaid administrative functions like improved automation and fraud detection. Moreover, the ripple effects of these huge federal Medicaid cuts next year alone would include up to $60 billion in lost economic activity nationwide, which in turn could lead to 450,000 lost jobs and a $4.4 billion in lost state and local tax revenue.

The reconciliation bill’s restrictions on state medical-provider taxes would similarly strain state budgets. To prevent an estimated 400,000 recipients nationwide from losing Medicaid coverage because of the curbs imposed on provider taxes, states would again need to either raise other taxes or cut other vital public services–again including cuts to Medicaid-administration initiatives that actually save money.

Another example of the state-level harms caused by the bill is the slashing of SNAP benefits and shifting more administrative and — for the first time in history — benefit costs onto state budgets. It would also raise the work-requirement age to 64, narrow caregiver exemptions to only parents with children under 9, defund SNAP-Ed, restrict USDA’s ability to issue local waivers, and cap future benefit increases under the Thrifty Food Plan. These cuts punish vulnerable people rather than help them work, forcing grandparents into extra jobs, making parents choose between caring for their children and losing food assistance, and straining states and local retailers. Taken together, these changes would worsen food insecurity, hurt local economies, all to pay for massive tax giveaways to the ultra-rich.

Hopefully Elon does launch his own party. It would be nice to have a party that isnt a slave to Israel, wants to take care of its own people, kick out illegals and limit legal immigration, and have balanced budgets over a period of time.

the only real difference trump has made so far is border enforcement, but that would've likely changed under pretty much any republican, even one who gave a shit about the budget. it's too popular of a policy for someone not to act on

you keep making excuses because you think he's funny and Owns the Libs. he could do literally nothing beneficial and you would still love him. just say that instead of whatabouting every retarded decision he makes

This is delusional. Republicans have been a major cause of illegal immigrants coming in the numbers that they have. Reagan did the first huge amnesty. This was/is about killing the labor market.

Who cares about spending? So what, we raise taxes on white people now so gay race communists can hand it to niggers in ten years? Deficit is a fake issue

the rate of deficit spending slows under the bill over the next four years. of course of you just read headlines or had some naive hope we'd operating at a budget surplus, then you're going to be disappointed. but only because of ignorance.

of course a lot is based on rosy omb estimates too. we'll see. but if you expected deficit spending to stop in 2026 than lol just fucking lol.

if someone is accumulating $100 a month in debt and them adjusts their finances so that they are accumulating $50 a month, has progress been made?

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5744949&forum_id=2Reputation#49063410)

no, higher interest rates affects the people with the highest borrowing power, i.e. the wealthy. its a wsj neocon lie that it hurts the middle class the most.

think of it this way: interest rates are as close to a flat tax as we have, except its on something the wealthy pay the most on. when the fed raised rates, its literally raising the rates at which THE BANKS pay to borrow money. of course this causes interest rates to rise across the board. but thats not hitting proles as hard as corporations and the wealthy.

and anyway the deficit does not set rates. the market does. if people stop buying american debt then the deficit will matter, but thats not the case.

oh but also trump is ultra pro-fed rate cuts. so basically if you want low rates you'd love trump. but you've been tricked into wanting low rates. but now you're maf at the gop, even though they're the ones pushing for low rates.

I.e. people earning 200k to 600k per year. Median income people are the poor and they barely pay tax, as you mentioned.

I am told by serious people that meaningful entitlement cuts + substantial new taxes are politically impossible for both parties and all the talk about doing either one or the other is just a charade. The way out of the impending financial doom is to get the economy to grow faster than the rate of government spending. As long as the economy outgrows the deficit, then the deficit becomes less of a problem. And that is what the bill is designed to do. And it's also why Trump is coming down so hard on Powell over the interest rates. He wants to unleash a massive boom.

We'll see if it works.

This is not “increasing” deficit, if they increased taxes the market would tank and tax base would shrink, increasing deficit further

Do you guys even know economics?

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5744949&forum_id=2Reputation#49065407)

Taxes are borne mostly by the lawyers and doctors on this board along with other Americans making 250-600k. Also same demographic that drives our economy purchasing.

If taxes increase those people will stop buying dumb shit and economy will tank. This will cause said doctors and lawyers to lose enough jobs to offset the tax increase
