After many years living and consisting of Washington, there is an overdue principle I know: If you do not trust politicians you will never be disappointed.
President Trump and the house Republican Leadership promised that what Trump called “the one, big, beautiful bill“Will, among other things, reduce $ 36 trillion federal debt. Less an expert than non-politician Elon Musk Telled the CBS news: “I was disappointed in seeing many bill of spending, straightforward, increasing budget deficit.” Musk comments arrived while he announced that his relationship with the dog, revealed billions of dollars to government waste, cheating and abuse. It is difficult to find the shame to forget that there is no doge cover in this bill, maybe because it is not involved. Federal judges prevent some proposed cutting spending, which only adds to the problem, allowing disability and debt to increase.
The amount of debt is a new innovation. According to US Treasury Fiscal DataThe last time the federal government had a balanced budget in 2001. Before that, the balance budget achieved in 1969, 1999, 1999. It is not impossible to balance the budget. Lack of will is will.
Bill is certainly large, over 1,100 pages written today. If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it is a second and third look. That big bill means many do not read it, which is politicians who will no doubt happen hope. How do they get into spending them if they can’t have to defend if they are exposed.
While the bill now goes to the Senate, most likely to make major changes, it includes some spending spending (but not nearly enough) and income earnings. The tax foundation (TF) Not impressed with Hype from President and Home Republican leaders: “Instead of making the most of the parts durableBill spends a lot of money on political and carve prompts, resulting in a package that gives a appeal economically but with a large fiscal cost. “
As the tax code is not long and complex enough, this bill makes it more. Again, TF analysis says that “(the taxpayer fees through a maze of new rules and the guards of types, and the guards of types of IRRS guidelines to explain.”
The Federal Tax Code is 6,871 pages long and very complicated. If the tax regulations have been added, the translation of the Treasury Department in the code, the balloon pages of 75,000.
What about Trump’s promise that doesn’t tax social security benefits? the Wall Street Journal Reports only faced a “middle scale,” gives older “a temporary additional reduction of $ 4 but these people still pay for social security benefits.”
A flat tax and order the balance budget except the weather, is the answer to all of it. It can improve everyone and end the failure that many feelings every April 15, trying to understand the forms and regulations that make a foreign language that you haven’t been in a foreign language.
That is not possible to happen, because members of Congress used the tax code and spending the decades in favor of some successes that help them in office. Until the main purpose of many politicians, the fees they pass are likely to remain large, but worse than beautiful.
