  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

1. That's not the "House Budge Report". It's a press release with cherry-picked and misleadingly-framed data.
2. My skepticism is backed up by the data. Yes, tax revenues overperformed in 2022, but they underperformed relative to pre-tax-cut projections in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2023. Some of that is down to pandemic effects (just as the overperformance in 2022 was), but you can't really make that excuse for 2018 and 2019.
3. My "far left liberal source" includes official data to back up the points that I made. Do you take issue with that data?
The answer is found in where the information came from -

Mine: fiscaldata.treasury.gov

Yours: The Guardian.

I tend to side with the Treasury department over an online left leaning rag. But thank you for responding.
