you strawmanned me into supporting this move, then crushed that strawman.
all i did was simply ask what the real deficit will be, as your post implies this massively balloons the deficit. i brought up some relevant factors on that aspect alone. and said i dont know the final balance.
my wife actually worked in a state funded daycare, they're hell holes. nor do i support most of the job opportunities these stay at home moms will get as good jobs, and i know most will just sit at home and do nothing.
u made a math claim, w/o the math, then i asked what the math might be, and u strawmanned the fuck outta my posts lol.
Bills generally are 10,000 pages nowadays so that is quite tough. The estimate that congress uses is funny at best.
A much more simple evaluation is take each line item and estimate a net revenue on each.
Spending $109 million on schooling for Mexican Criminals is the easiest example, because contrary to Skinned's paranoid delusions, Mexican Criminals don't pay taxes at a rate that is helpful.
Ballooning the Capital Gains tax and the highest income tax rate seem to be the only "positive" line items. But they aren't purely positive because they also have adverse effects. And $1.8 Tr is far too much for any tax rate to overcome.
It only proves my theory that raising tax rates doesn't reduce the deficit - it only raises spending even more.
