That kind of asinine comment is why I have totally tuned out nearly all of legacy media. It's absolute crap. It's not even worth posting, except as an example of how crappy MSM has consistiently become, which is really old news by now.
There really is no point not making the tax cut permanent. Republicans can’t expect to lure any dem votes.
Talk to the RINOs in congress about that.
I swear US journalism courses must now be run by North Korean curricula..
Middle Eastern money has infiltrated our media and Universities.
It’s really crazy when you stop and think about it. I think a lot of people are numb to it, but it’s a very serious problem.
Well, I’ve not and to pay income tax since I retired, so this is not really a big deal to me.
Heh. I dumped legacy media in 1997. That’s why I’m such an outlier on almost all issues.
A simple example: I saw that Biden was mentally impared when he was elected and didn’t expect him to last more than a few months.
But I was taken to school on two things:
1. How utterly and completely the press would foist “easily” fact checked lies on the public on a daily or even hourly bases.
2. How many people would believe it.

Exactly. Just make the current ones permanent, which means till the next change of possession anyway.
What to do? Most don’t realize the sale of our debt ( US Treasury debt, bonds, bills, etc) is what largely finances US day to day operations. The other is direct taxation.
Fewer nations are buying US debt, and the figure of $$$8 trillion plus must be sold ( rolled over) by the end of the year. The US is having a hard time getting nations to buy and more are selling every day. How to make up the drastic loss?
Taxation must go up OR our spending must go down drastically.The problem is getting worse, the last few weeks the Fed had to buy a couple hundred billion of our unsold debt instruments, we are in a debt spiral.
At the current rate, by the time Trump leaves office, our debt will increase from $37 trillion to $45 trillion, mathematically impossible to pay off….keep in mind our interest payments on our debt is now well over $$$ 1 trillion dollars a year, obscene and unsustainable.
Most likely.
….and Tariffs are unlikely to generate what we need….time will tell.
And the influence of the Chinese communist party.
So, you individuals out there need to learn to eat bugs (and like it).
EAT MORE CHIKN BUGS

No such thing as permanent tax cut. It is a fiction created by rules of senate.
Well said.
