Your argument of how hard it would be to raise the 9-9-9 plan makes great sense until you factor in the liberal mindset. They would have all those earning less than 50k,then 75k then 100k exempt form some of the 9’s and the poor(their political assets) exempt all together.

Since a new Congress is never forced to adhere to the legislation passed by previous ones, your rational says we should NEVER bother to pass anything about anything at anytime. What’s the point since the next Congress will amend it or toss it.
Following your logic the only time to pass smaller gov’t legislation is when we can guarantee for life a Conservative president and control of at least 1 of the other chambers.
That might have been my “rationale” if I had not already pointed to the contrary in several posts.
