Trump

In my opinion the judges should stay out of politics and focus on the law.

Many would have to learn the law first.
Like the judge who put the hold on President Trump's immigration EO.
And the three in the appeals court that upheld it.

Trump wants to cut taxes for the wealthy and companies. OK! So where are we going to get the money to run the country? Answer: Cut entitlements. Well yes, that will work, but... Now when he says that he is not going to cut entitlements, he means they will not be eliminated. We will have to see what happens.

I would turn over the entitlement giveaways to the states to deal with. And the schools. And everything else I could turn over to them, besides defense.

I have no answer for that. Basically I am taking the approach of wait and see.

President Trump just changed all that, ordering the US Treasury to restore the cost of living increases and issue checks to all retirees to cover their losses for the past eight years.

To be fair to all, Trump issued the order to be retroactive to anyone 65 or older as of today, meaning if you were over 57 years old in 2009 you’ll be receiving a check in the mail, courtesy of your president, for $4,106. That should go a long way towards helping to heal the pain of 8 years of a traitor.

You won’t need to do anything to qualify for the relief fund other than be a US citizen who files a tax return every year. The measure is expected to cost nearly $40 billion, which will be cut from spending on social services that are far over-funded, such as food stamps and the CHIP program. It’s time we started taking care of those who have contributed the longest and for the younger generation to learn to care for themselves.

You do realize that the US has the highest corp tax rate of any industrialized nation on earth right? That is a competitive disadvantage.

He wants to cut the tax brackets from 6 to 3. He wants to put more money in the pockets of EVERYONE, particularly the middle class.

I have to laugh at folks that are liberal because no matter what, Trump= bad.

He is proposing the largest domestic spending project in HISTORY. Dems and liberals should be cheering that yet they are not.

Difference between Trumps infrastructure spending and Obozo's is it will be done as cost effectively as possible on or under budget ON TIME.

As an example... government spending project vs Trump:

The Wollman Rink, opened in 1949, was a beloved Manhattan postcard icon. It appeared in countless movies, including “Love Story.” But it was falling apart, and then-Mayor Ed Koch closed it in 1980.

The city promised to reopen it by 1985. But Koch’s incompetent commissioners and contractors let the job run $12 million over its original $4.7 million budget, and by 1986, the finish line was nowhere in sight.

Enter Trump. The young Trump Tower developer was known more for self-promotion and for an ugly, name-calling feud with Koch over tax abatement's and zoning rules. (sound familar?)

In June 1986, Trump brashly offered to reopen the rink before Christmas. “If Koch doesn’t like this offer,” Trump said, “then let him have the same people who have built it for the last six years do it for the next six years.”
Koch held his nose and gave Trump the keys. Trump got the ice rink reopened to the public on Nov. 1. Maybe any able construction company could have done the same. But Trump’s success was a tonic to a crime-torn, crumbling city that needed some good news. It showed how private enterprise could handily whip government bureaucracy.

Wollman was a tiny project. But, unlike disputes over taxes and zoning, it told a story everyone could understand. It made Trump a hero, at least for a time. And more than any of his skyscrapers, it lent him the “can-do” reputation that propelled him into the White House.

On budget 1 month sooner than promised. A job that lingered for 12 years, went nearly 15 million over budget and still was no where near completion Trump did in a matter of months.

Maybe its time to sit back, be quiet and see if a BUSINESS MAN can fix this horrific mess created by POLITICIANS.

The Dems are sure as heck stonewalling at every possible corner. He STILL does not have all of his cabinet approved because of the dems.

I am willing to wait and see what happens. In order to maintain our standard we need to have taxes. I have not heard of any taxes being raised. So far what he has proposed will raise the national debt. Cutting the poor for the sake of the rich is not what I would call a good plan. But, we will see.

How is cutting taxes on the poor and middle class hurting the poor?

Why do you ASSUME taxes need to be raised... You CLEARLY do not understand economics. If you take money out of the hands of people who produce and give it to those that do not produce you are HURTING the economy (and that is socialism)

By lowering taxation you are keeping more money in the economy. Since more people have more disposable income they will spend. When they spend they are consuming more goods. This causes an increase in demand. Such increases in productivity and consumption means MORE TAX REVENUE. As Corporations continue to do exceptionally well, their employees can ask for and receive pay raises. More personal income = more tax revenue Even at the lower marginal rate.

This is what Kennedy did in the early 1960's (and it worked then) as well as what Reagan did in the 1980's

I can't find another story confirming that anywhere.

I wouldn't rush to conclude that cabinet members with Wall Street ties necessarily means that all policies are going to benefit Wall Street. It's more likely that being experienced at top-level economic decision-making is the best resume for appointment as Secretary of Commerce or whatever.

The Clintons were heavily supported by Wall Street money, and they were known to be partial to whatever Wall Street wanted...but neither of them was, personally, a former exec on Wall Street.

He has indeed made mention of lowering taxes across the board.

If he said that. All I remember is that he going to cut taxes for the rich and middle class, and then cut entitlements for the poor. But who knows, he changes his mind often.

 

[CherubRam]

LOL. Well, I won't try second guessing Mr Trump. The Keystone XL pipeline won't be required to use American-made steel to earn construction approval from the Trump administration.

Do you even bother doing research or do you just listen to CNN and MSNBC?

Sept 15 2016 ( I know in the liberals mind that is like SOOOOOOOO long ago but...)

NEW YORK — Speaking to a room full of New Yorker's at the prestigious Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Midtown Manhattan, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump promised to eliminate taxes for low-income Americans while growing the U.S. economy.

“Low-income Americans will pay no income tax at all,” Trump told those gathered at the Economic Club of New York’s Thursday luncheon. “In fact, our plan will remove millions and millions of workers form the income tax rolls entirely.”

“By lowering rates, streamlining deductions and simplifying the process, we will add millions of new jobs,” Trump promised.
