And then the little kenyan muslim leftist boi king came along with no experience what so ever except community agitating, and doubled the national debt.

So why is any leftist worried about it now all of a sudden?

[CSM]

isn't it ironic that the Dems/libs/progressives are NOW concerned about the national debt? They don't seem too concerned over it when touting free college education and health care for "everyone" as well as a host of other causes which rely on stealing money from working folks to provide those things to non-working folks....

I'm not concerned, just wondering why the rhetoric stopped. Is the debt being chipped away yet? Somehow I think it's still increasing.

I am sure that makes you very happy....but I don't see the "free college" or "free health care" yet either. The current administration hasn't done much to increase the debt YET. ant to guess where the increases are coming from (aside from the ton of money now allocated to disaster relief)?

You guys are expert at dodging. Why aren't you guys talking about the debt any more? Where are the calls to reduce it? Simply not adding much more is now good enough?

[jimnyc]

Pete, can you show me where you posted concern while Obama was in office setting records in running up the debt? If it wasn't a concern to you then, which it wasn't, then you are trolling right now. :)

And it IS a concern to me, only things haven't been nearly as it were when Obama was in office.

And who knows, maybe things may be different if the democrats didn't vow to impede everything from republicans, before they can even see it or know about it.

Not whining you dipshit! Look at who started the thread. Congress sucks and this shit happens far too often. Generally speaking though, the obstruction happens as things are presented, not prior to it even being thought of. BOTH sides obstruct the other. It's always been that way and I don't see a fix anytime soon. But I honestly, in my entire life, haven't seen a party calling for blocking of everything like they called for and announced. You're correct, it IS a leadership problem - and it starts with those leading the democrats in congress.

And if holding accountable as you state - then WHY didn't you give a shit about accountability in the past 8 years prior to Trump? We both know the answer to that one. :)

An'd you're correct in stating that R's sort of own the congress, and could get some things through without a single vote from democrats. Easy on some issues, not so easy on others. I don't give very good ratings to either Ryan or McConnell right now.

An aside. Maybe THIS is part of the reason you haven't seen much bitching yet!

President Donald Trump and his administration are undoing the government’s rampant spending that occurred under former President Obama’s watch.

According the U.S. Treasury’s direct record, a surprising amount of money has been saved over the course of seven months. On January 20th, the day Trump was inaugurated, the total debt was $19,947,304,555,212.49. On July 30th, seven short months later, it’s at $19,844,938,940,351.37. Overall the debt has decreased by $102,365,614,861.12.

"Tax Cuts and the EconomyIt's a common belief that reducing marginal tax rates would spur economic growth. The idea is that lower tax rates will give people more after-tax income that could be used to buy more goods and services. This is a demand-side argument to support a tax reduction as an expansionary fiscal stimulus. Further, reduced tax rates could boost saving and investment, which would increase the productive capacity of the economy and productivity.
However, studies have shown that this isn't necessarily true. Data collected over 25 years (https://www.economy.com/mark-zandi/documents/2016-06-17-Trumps-Economic-Policies.pdf) by the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that high income earners spend much less for every tax dollar saved, than low income earners — 86 cents versus 48 cents respectively. Further, a 65-year study (http://graphics8.nytimes.com/news/business/0915taxesandeconomy.pdf) by the Congressional Research Service showed that economic growth was not correlated with changes in the top marginal tax and capital gains rate. In other words, economic growth is largely unaffected by how much tax the wealthy pay. Growth is more likely to spur if lower income earners get a tax cut."

Okay petey. If you are correct about the way you count. Then tell us why JFK and Reagan were both so successful with Lowering Taxes if you insist the opposite occured.

Constantly echoing the Liberal, Democrat negatives about tax cuts is an old tactic.
Democrats DO NOT WANT AMERICANS to succeed, or keep more of their own money when the Dems want to control every aspect of American lives by ruling over how much people can earn, how long they can work, and how much they must pay to KEEP THE DEMOCRAT BIG GOVERNMENT PERPETUALLY RUNNING TO BLACKMAIL taxpayers.

Reagan did indeed cut taxes. Why were they successful? Clinton raised them in the 90s and the Internet exploded.

Petey : Read up.



The rich, for being rich, have money to lose. That's why much lower tax rates on wealth that is earned or inherited are so crucial to the economic well-being of everyone else. Precisely because the rich are flush with funds, they can take risks on the dynamic companies of tomorrow that are tautologically necessary for the prosperity that Anderson would like. Adam Smith was very clear that investment migrates away from economies that are stationary, and if the tax-cut focus is on the middle class, a more stationary economy will be ours. Such an economy will do little for the typical American whom Anderson would like to aid.

History is once again very clear here. Since the rich have money to lose, they alone can pursue the intrepid investments that make the typical American much better off. Indeed, it was J.P. Morgan who took a flyer on Thomas Edison's light bulb despite the protests of his father, it was Howard Hughes who brought a pile of inherited money to California in order to fund the aviation boom, families with names like Rockefeller, Vanderbilt and Phipps were the initial money behind the venture capital explosion out in Silicon Valley, PayPal co-founder Thiel was the money behind Facebook, and then Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was a pioneer investor in both Google and Uber.


Middle class jobs? As Cal-Berkeley economist Enrico Moretti has described it, successful tech companies author what he calls a major "jobs multiplier" as small businesses cluster around tech behemoths. Thinking about Cupertino, CA (where Apple is located) alone, its success had led to voluminous job creation as baristas, yoga instructors, personal trainers, chefs, lawyers and financial advisers have set up shop around Apple's stunning bonanza.


And then it can't be forgotten that today's typical American is not infrequently tomorrow's wealthy American. This helps explain why the world's poorest are so desperate to reach the U.S. Success in the U.S. of the wealthy variety shouldn't bring with it a tax penalty; rather it should gift the ambitious with a tax reward.


But of greatest importance is the simple truth that intrepid investment is the path to the kind of prosperity that we all want, and that will lift all boats. That being the case, the quickest fix to the relatively bland outlook on Main Street is a reduction in the tax bill for those who live in the hills above it.

Get this man a nobel prize in economics! Actually studies find the 1% just horde their cash. Hell Apple has over $100B in cash. How much more do they need to make investments?

Why, I'm glad you asked!


Apple CEO Tim Cook announced today that the iPhone maker will be putting $1 billion of its roughly $256 billion cash hoard into a US advanced manufacturing fund. The news, which Cook disclosed in an interview with CNBC’s Jim Cramer, indicates that Apple’s executive leadership is intent on heading off any potential conflicts between the company and President Trump, who has promised to bring jobs back and pressure corporations to invest more domestically.

“It's $1 billion of our US money, which we have to borrow to get. That's another whole topic,” Cook said, lightly commenting on current US tax policy that Apple claims prevents it from repatriating a majority of its overseas cash. “But yeah, we're really proud to do it. And by doing that, we can be the ripple in the pond. Because if we can create many manufacturing jobs around — those manufacturing jobs create more jobs around them, because you have a service industry that builds up around them.”

...


I actually think comprehensive tax reform is so important to this economy. If you think about it, what many, many companies now sell globally. If you sell globally, you earn money globally. If you earn money globally, you don't — you can't bring it back into the United States unless you pay 35 percent plus your state tax. And you look at this and you go, “this is kind of bizarre.” You want people to use this money in the United States to invest more. We are in a good position, but an unusual one. Our good position is we can borrow. And so to invest in the United States, we have to borrow. This doesn't make sense on a broad basis, and so I think the administration you saw that they're really getting this, and want to bring this back. And I hope that that comes to pass.
