A fraudulent intent, however carefully concealed at the outset, will generally, in the end, betray itself.

From the very article you linked -ChairmanOfTheBoard wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 9:12 am some interesting concepts on taxation here: https://thehill.com/policy/finance/4701 ... ad-of-2020
You could easily have a situation where someone single who makes say 40-50K has essentially a zero tax cut, and a relatively large one for someone making a few hundred K... But it will be sold as a "middle-class" tax cut, even though it is just another tax cut that will benefit the more wealthy to a larger extent...Tax-policy experts have said that cutting the middle tax brackets could end up being expensive and providing a tax cut to the wealthy in addition to the middle class.
Re: The Nation's Financial Condition
wouldn't China hitting us with more tariffs play right into Trump's hands? I think that kind of aggressive act would force any POTUS (d or r) to essentially declare financial war on China.
afan - I am inclined to agree with you that the US is at a huge disadvantage in these kinds of negotiations because we have 4-8 yr term presidents negotiating with what is essentially a life-time dictator. Add to that the cultural need in the US to reach a conclusion -v- the Chinese tendency to see an agreement as just a framework for continued negotiation. BUT, I have begun to see financial reports that indicate that China is actually hurting as a result of the trade war. It appears that if Trump is re-elected, the power dynamic may shift. So stay tuned on what their staying power really is.

Why is it that the same people who supported a stunningly failed political campaign in '16, are the same ones telling me for 3 years straight now that the stock market is massively overvalued?

So why not borrow another $3trillion this year if this path is such a good idea?

Re: The Nation's Financial Condition
And that's one of the reasons why inflation isn't higher. Middle and lower classes are still underemployed / underpaid (or overcharged) with respect to a few major expenses, namely health care and housing and to a lesser extent higher education among others.ardilla secreta wrote: ↑Thu Nov 14, 2019 8:42 pmA report shows 7 of 10 Americans are struggling financially.
