@LuFins-Dad said in Doge sits down with Bret Baier. Worth a watch.:
- It seems to me that the CBO pretty routinely underestimates the effects that tax breaks add to growth and underestimate the effect that tax increases slows growth.
What evidence do you have to support this claim?
- Those projections also donβt take into account the effect that deregulation will have on growth.
What evidence do you have to support this claim?
Cutting spending in all of the other areas will allow us to start reducing the outstanding debt. When that number goes down you should see economic growth increase again.
I take it you recognize the importance of "reducing outstanding debt." Let's put a pin on that and we will return to it soon enough.
- The elephant in the room is still the FICA programs, and that will need to be addressed by removing the cap, but you need to earnestly show that you are taking steps to address your profligate spending before asking the bank of the 5% to give you more moneyβ¦
You argue about showing earnestness in cutting spending right after you stressed the importance of reducing debt. Where's the earnestness when you see the GOP proposing to tag on $19 Trillion of debt to finance tax cuts? You expect the people to accept losing government services and government benefits when they see the national debt go up by $19 Trillion? For what? Tax cuts for the already rich?
Srsly, reevaluate your earnestness.
