ONe problem with the tax cuts, Over half of the money my wife and I will be getting back from this tax cut this year will go to pay my INCREASED local and state taxes. What is left will not cover our grocery budget for a month.

Same here, during years of prosperity local and stae gov. took in more money then they needed, they used this money to expand the government. When the economy slow down, the revenues stream decreased and they could no longer support the larger government. they could use the lower revenues against the projected gov spending of the prosperous years to make the case to raise taxes. The ideal time for tax cuts is when the governments begin to have a surplus! We may prevent a recession like this, but we have career people in government who think they are successful when the government takes in more money and spends it to increase their business, the government.

Words mean things. The government is not giving money back, the government is allowing us to keep more of are earnings.
