    Really? You voted dem which let it be known that the Trump tax cuts would expire in 2025 which is the same thing as having voted for tax increases for the people. You have zero to bellyache about as the Trump tax cuts will be made permanent.

    It's not just that the original Trump tax cuts will be made permanent. Trump and his Republican enablers to the benefit of his billionaire megadonors will be doubling down with additional tax cuts. At one time the Republicans were the party of fiscal responsibility. That description doesn't fit the Republican Party and hasn't for decades. Today's Republican party is the party of deficits and exploding debt.

    Exactly the entire the point of the whole exercise, Trump knows which way the market is going because he is manipulating it for the benefit of the oligarchs who back him.

    Easy money.

    I think the tax cuts are brilliant. I just saw a poor family pull up in a BMW where their butler bought 5lbs of filet mignon and lobster using food stamps while watching tik tok on a IPhone 15.

    If anyone is less free, we all are. Unlike you, I am not ok watching others having their rights taken away. So no, I personally have not lost rights ( yet), bt too many of our fellow citizen's rights are being taken away by your ilk.

    Fix the problem? Both you and I know that's not going to happen. The goal is cut as much spending to pay for Trump's tax cuts. At the end of the day the federal deficit will grow by several trillion dollars by the time Trump's term is over

    if you can, with a straight face, claim to care about the national debt and at the same time pass a 4.2 TRILLION dollar tax cut bill you are either: a) a liar or b) incapable of logical reasoning.

    It's been 3 weeks and Trump also has NOT managed to grow 100,000,000 chickens either. What's wrong with Trump can't he also grow crops in 3 weeks too? He's lazy... :rolleyes:

    It's been 4 months since he was elected. This looks like an economical backlash from the economic fear and uncertainty he is creating. I mean, he and president Elon did promise to bring "pain" and "hardship" to America... their words ... did you think that would make consumers happy?

    And you don't think consumers are affected at all by all the dumb shit Trump has been saying is coming on "day one" for the last 4 months?
