Feds Collect Record Taxes in First Month Under Tax Cut; Run Surplus in January

The tax cuts were not in effect yet.
Nope, they weren't. Guess you missed the news about the many companies giving bonuses/raises in advance of the new code.

But the MUCH BIGGER EFFECT than a few % of people getting relatively small one time bonus and even less getting any raise will be the reduction in collections from most paychecks in the country.

This effect did not hit until February

Bonuses
Layoffs
Raises
Hiring
Firing



These all happen with or without tax-cuts and the job of any thinking person is to be aware of that when reading on the topic of economic effects of any given policy.

Cranks and charlatans will always use convenient correlations to baselessly insinuate causation.
 
Let's compare the number's of the last budget signed by Obama to Trump's first budget, for the 2018 fiscal year that started October 1st.

January's revenues grew 5% over January of last year. Unfortunately spending grew 6%. So far in the 1st third of this fiscal year (October-January) deficit spending is up $17 billion (11%) over the same period last year. (WSJ)


Last year's federal spending was $4 trillion. The 2019 budget just proposed by Trump calls for spending of $4.4 trillion.

Good job?

Tax cuts went into effect January 1. 2018, shitforbrains. Bonuses are being handed out left and right the past 6 weeks and corporations like Apple have brought in hundreds of billions into the US from offshore accounts.

It is why no one trusts the left with the economy.

Yeah, and when people file their taxes for their 2018 income we will see the effect. Fuck you are dumb.
Dumbass, didn't you notice that less taxes are being taken out of your welfare check?

Honestly that statement is so dumb, you shouldn't comment for a while...

The greedy gator is showing a distinct lack of understanding regarding the boost the economy has received from Trump policies. Go ahead and keep your head firmly planted in your anus.

Fucking libs. Bitched about the SALT tax changes because they will have to pay their fair share and then bitch about tax reductions.

I understand you are frustrated. 8 years of fiscal failure frustrated all of us. To ignore what is happening, to deny it, is the height of partisanship. Carry on clown.

I am frustrated by partisan zealots like you that put party before country. I am frustrated by people like you cheering for more spending and more debt for someone else to pay. I am frustrated by people that lie about the effect of tax cuts, so in other words people like you.

Yet in the four years after the Bush tax cuts, total receipts were greater than the four years following the Clinton tax hikes. We have a spending problem, not a revenue problem. I hold both sides responsible.
