Even the US is not exempt from economic rules. Trump and the rich want less taxation. The deficit cannot grow infinitely. Something has to be cut.

- amanaplanacanal 1y agoIt has nothing to do with the deficit. If it did, the big beautiful bill would have looked much different.
- Yeul 1y agoThe US is lending money from people who DO care about the deficit.
- myvoiceismypass 1y agoTrump and the Republican Congress are adding several _trillion_ to the deficit with the latest bill they rammed through in the middle of the night. They do want less taxation, but only on the richest of the rich. Not to mention - tariffs are essentially an inflation tax on _every_single_purchase_.
- oblio 1y agoI'm confused, won't Trump's tax measures increase the deficit by trillions? Isn't he already spending more than Biden over the same time interval? How exactly is Trump reducing the deficit by any significant margin?
- const_cast 1y agoThe Rs do not give a flying fuck about the deficit and to even so much as imply otherwise is nothing short of dishonesty. We're well past the point of giving benefit of the doubt on proven, and obvious, lies.
