I’m not as sure as you are. Though I’m going to give them at least the benefit here. If Trump does reform of Welfare, SNAP, and all the easy fluff, that’s big savings. But if this is nothing but a corporate give me, it will be very hard to quantify. Though look at the growth, if CBO used a projection based on the current growth we are seeing it would be a net positive on its own. I believe they are using a 2% we are likely to see double that in at least the first 2 years while corporations adjust bring back investment capital, and start building. I know I’m waiting for a special one-time dividend from Apple, and if it’s where I am projecting it, that could mean I’m willing to build a new home with it and take the hit now while taxes will be lower, that’s a lot of workers building.
Who knows, but I know it’s not as bad as one side is saying, and it’s not as good as the other... but I’d be happy right in the middle! :)
My secret Christmas wish, is that the Repubs will put in a no tax increase for anyone... Everyone deserves a tax cut. I’m tired of the games of vilifying high income earners. Many of us who live in suburban Virginia will certainly feel that, where 2 income earner families can easily gross 300-350k and while we live well, we don’t deserve our taxes to increase.
I suppose while I’m wishing, I’d hope that they remove the penalty for choosing a stay-at-home parent and allow the brackets to be the same regardless of marital status.
