Cost of extending the expiring Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion

Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion

Both Trump proposals will explode the deficit and be used as an excuse to gut programs that millions rely on, like Social Security.

Be warned.

@rbreich I guess that mean less money for the Biden/Harris genocide in Gaza. Seriously though, are the Dems trying to lose the election? In what world do people care more about federal funding than they do a genocide?

@Canucklehead @rbreich While Trump runs around praising Israel. "If you're Jewish and you vote for Democrats, you're crazy". What do you think Trump would do differently? Trump wants to build luxury hotels in Gaza once the 'riff raff' is gone.

@SteveJB @rbreich lol what does trump have to do with Biden/harris genocide? Any support for genocide should be immediately disqualifying for any politician.

@Canucklehead @rbreich First of all, the alleged genocide is Netanyahu's, not Biden's. Biden has attempted to support Israel's defense. Netanyahu has used that support for offensive attacks. But more to the point, there are two candidates in our two party system. Trump will advance genocide throughout Europe and the Middle East. So Harris is the choice. BTW, that's not Biden.

@SteveJB @rbreich it’s not alleged. It’s being livestream for even the dumbest of genocide defenders to witness. Harris has pledged to continue funding and supporting Israel. Your propaganda is not appreciated.

@Canucklehead @rbreich I was just wondering the same thing!

Without having really read it anywhere.

I just picked up that vibe, put 2 + 2 = math

@Canucklehead @rbreich How much of an impact on the election would the Arab American / Muslim vote have, if they all turned their backs on her?

I know there are articles, but wary of bias, and perhaps out-of-date info.

Polls aren’t usually reliable, at least not for this serious shit?

Thanks

@rbreich

Well, if we cut food stamps, SS, and Medicare, we could pay for it.

Right?

RIGHT?!?

@rbreich Putin is pulling trumps strings and the gop have been compromised by Putin for years. Ask Mitch Mcconnell about his pal Oleg Deripaska, a Putin oligarch.

@rbreich I feel like all I can say nowadays is, “Holy shit, Holy shit” over and over.

Thank you for being alive, sir.

@rbreich this is not a disincentive for republicans, they want this. and then afterwards, when they're desperate, they want it reinstated but only for white people

@rbreich his plan to use tariffs and cut various income taxes will directly hurt social security, focus on that rather than the confusing language around the national deficit¹ or national debt²

¹which is just all the money the government spent into existence minus the money it taxed out of existence, i.e. new money in the pockets and accounts of the public

²which people should realize would be catastrophic if we got rid of it, as that would remove the dollar from circulation entirely
