    Re: Business, Economics & Tax Policy 6.0: Nope, it only found woven strands

    You want to bust out laughing? This is what Steve Mnuchin came up with for the tax bill. Remember, he stated the TAX CUTS would pay for themselves. Now they don't without WELFARE REFORM and INFRASTRUCTURE SPENDING.

    Stevie Boy has been on every talk show you can imagine, lying, about how this tax bill pays for itself. WELFARE REFORM means what? Steal from the poor even more than the tax bill does. INFRASTRUCTURE SPENDING means what? More spending at the federal level which means the tax cut gets paid for but how does the INFRASTRUCTURE SPENDING get paid for?

    Tell Trump and Congress that BROWNBACK failed in Kansas. Stop trying to duplicate it.

    The Treasury Department said Monday that the GOP tax plan currently before Congress would need an assist from other Trump administration priorities to pay for itself.

    Tax cuts alone aren't enough, Treasury said in a one-page analysis, citing welfare reform and infrastructure spending as additional boosts to the economy.

    The analysis assumes that an economy led by Republicans would boost revenues by $1.8 trillion over a decade — more than enough to pay for the roughly $1.5 trillion in tax cuts envisioned by Republicans.

    Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has been saying for months that his department would produce an analysis that proved the tax cuts would be fully paid for, and other top Republicans like Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have insisted they have no doubt that would be the case.

      According to one report, there may be one tiny nugget of goodness hiding under the whole stinking pile of the tax plan: The elimination of the personal healthcare mandate. However, I can't celebrate this small victory unless it's still true that it was a law that was never enforced by any citation, fine, or penalty in its history (so that only the people who care about following the law follow it). Does anyone know if it has ever been enforced?
      To clarify, a law that is by policy unenforced is far worse than no law at all. It costs the Obamacare program its credibility at the cost of a working balance of risk.

      Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.

        I see. Another supporter of the destruction of Obamacare. Good idea.

              You pay a penalty on your taxes for each month you're uncovered, I had to do it last year when between jobs.

                Well then, that's good and bad. Good if they made the law real instead of treating it as a make-believe pretend law for those interested in playing, but it also means that this repeal and the rest of the Republican tax plan is 100% steaming pile from top to bottom. There's no good in there anywhere, as far as I know. Is there? I mean they decided not to tax the pass-through tuition funds on grad students, but that's like deciding not to shoot the last crippled child at Wounded Knee because you know she'll starve anyway.

                  Yeah... it's pretty much a steaming pile no argument there. It might be good (for you) if you have a LLC or something but that's about all I can think of.

                      Someone is buying a good chunk of Murdoch's empire. That’s good.
                      It’s Disney. That’s bad.

                      I can’t think of anything else that’s good to keep the joke running

                      They aren’t buying the news business. That’s bad.
                      It includes The Simpsons. That’s bad.

                      ETA: It includes Hulu, X-men, NatGeo.

                                I just don't get why he's pushing for the child tax credit. It doesn't fit his politics.
