What would you rather see from President Trump first?
Broad Tax Cuts
or
Obamacare Repeal
Stop the attack on my mail box ...Opt out of junk mail
Stop the attacks on my phone .... Opt out of phone scams
OK. Not first in the line of importance but .....
He's at the mercy of the GOPe as far as taking care of Obama Care but he will not falter.
I sign the petitions he sends out via email and send donations to prove he has support - the more of us that do the same, the more leverage he has among the faint hearted wusses in the Congress.
Neither - at least first.
What I want him to do is get with his new Attorney General and initiate a broad, top-to-bottom, bottoms-up investigation of the people and organizations (including members of Congress and the media) who are funding and coordinating these nationwide so-called protests and bring every damned one of them up on conspiracy and RICO charges.
It’s only a matter of time before someone refuses to be a victim and lets the air out of a few protesters. Then we’re on an accelerated approach to a no-shit civil war.
Both would be preferred. No need for first because they are both coming soon!
Address ACA first. Then address the tax system.
Our tax code is far too complex but we need to carefully deconstruct it and put it back together.
Make things simple. Why do we have provisions that specify 59 1/2 years old and 70 1/2 years old. Half birthdays go away for people at age 6. Use whole years. I could write a book of useless, outdated, overly complex portions of our tax code.
A prohibition against trolls and mandatory contributions to FReepathons..
Broad tax cuts, especially on the corporate side, even with a border tax adjustment.
Less likely to happen now, precisely because Trump would sign it.
Obamacare repeal.
And the two are not even close in importance.
It is causing tens of millions of Americans to be given less than thirty five hours of work per week. It is with killing whomever has to be killed to make it go away. At the same time, it is causing people who have little money to spend thousands of dollars for a high deductible catastrophic health policy. Total insanity.
Broad tax cuts do not approach that critical level of importance.
The exact same people (with zero exceptions) who don’t see the importance of repealing it are the ones who saw no problem whatsoever with implementing it to begin with.
Tax Cuts. That should be a doable thing in a shorter time than Obamacare. No reason both and more cannot be ongoing as well, but much more involved and complicated than axing taxes in a variety of areas. Tax cuts are an immediate benefit to bring this economy back. Tax cuts are an incentive to wage earners and business interests and are immediately measurable. Obamacare is more of a bureaucratic maze of medical and individual interest and concerns.
Like untangling a huge mess of rope or such.
repealing Obamacare ...it returns how much tax dollars to the treasury ? (gross cost 1.7 trillion thru 2025)
The closer we get to April, the less hope I have.
Not an option if you fully embrace socialism in the core of your being.
And only then.
Be honest with what you are and what you are defending.
Because nobody on this forum is really fooled into thinking that both
A: Obamacare isn’t socialism and
B: tax cuts rely on continued socialism.
I want to see protection of our borders, travel ban, and deportations of illegals and foreigners posing a threat or receiving public assistance.
What would you rather see from President Trump first? Broad Tax Cuts or Obamacare Repeal

Answer is yes. Trump has been daily (hourly even) accomplishing these types of things since he was sworn in. No reason why this can’t be done this week or next.
MAGA.
Tax cuts first. Meanwhile, he can eliminate Obamacare penalties and revoke all Obamacare waivers (including congress’) with the stroke of a pen. That will get things moving faster.
Trump just announced tax cuts coming in 2-3 weeks...
President Trump was elected by over 60 million people.
Too many of us have personal vested agendas for President Trump. Some act like a 2 year old yelling, screaming and holding their breath until they pass out. If Trump doesn’t jump on their personal bandwagon. Or by vowing not to support him because their personal agenda hasn’t been addressed in 2+ weeks.
President Trump has a very good team. They are determining what priorities need to be addressed for the good of the nation, not me.
So instead of screaming, holding my breath and crying, I will continue to support our new President with his prioties for America.
MAGA means Make America Great Again for Americans not just for Grampa Dave!
I would like to see application of Sherman Antitrust laws used against healthcare providers, insurance companies and drug manufacturers to end their price fixing.
Paul Ryan has introduced legislation to exempt health care professionals from Federal antitrust laws:
TITLE VI—Miscellaneous provisions
SEC. 601. Quality health care coalition.
(a) Application of the Federal antitrust laws to health care professionals negotiating with health plans.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—Any health care professionals who are engaged in negotiations with a health plan regarding the terms of any contract under which the professionals provide health care items or services for which benefits are provided under such plan shall, in connection with such negotiations, be exempt from the Federal antitrust laws.
As Karl Denninger eloquently states:
http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=231812
15 United States Code Chapter 1 makes explicitly illegal any sort of price-fixing or collusion where market power exists. It provides both heavy civil ($10 to $100 million per instance) fines for persons and corporations, respectively, and in addition provides for felony criminal penalties of up to 10 years imprisonment for all persons involved.
Ryan’s bill will ensure that current law is not applied to the heath care industry.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. They are not fixing healthcare and it will eat us alive with the current rate of growth.
