Yep, its planned. If they made tax reductions permanent, what else would they have to run on?
If congress really cared we wouldn’t have such massively dangerous debt, which by the way will be heaped upon future generations. You would think that maybe they would revolt against this unpayable burden but they don’t. And no one in congress intends to acknowledge the problem. All that matters to them is buying votes and kicking the can down the road.
