Only 13% of business' tax cuts are going to workers, survey says

Republicans are Fiscally Irresponsible Liars that Cause Government Failures to back their Claims Government Always Fails. It's seems to only fail because or Republicans. Every ob Killing Depression was caused by Republicans. Every Republican President Caused Job Killing Recessions for Every term they served. Democrats never caused a depression & rarely a recession.

The Bush administration may have broken the law on Medicare.

Federal documents show that the Bush administration estimated the new Medicare prescription-drug benefit could cost almost $600 billion, more than half again as much as it publicly predicted at the time. Even worse, the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service has concluded that administration efforts to conceal this and other unflattering cost forecasts of the proposal while it was debated “appear to violate a specific and express prohibition of federal law.”

Medicare’s chief actuary, Richard S. Foster, recalls sharing figures on the drug plan with his former boss, Thomas Scully, Medicare’s then-administrator. Foster’s numbers far exceeded the $395 billion, ten-year cost at which the Congressional Budget Office appraised the drug bill. Foster says Scully replied: “We can’t let that get out.”

Scully’s alleged comment epitomized the Bush administration’s evident desire to keep Congress and taxpayers ignorant of figures that showed this already controversial legislation might cost 50% more than CBO’s $395 billion valuation that the administration publicly touted.

you can replace the word republicans with democrats and your post would still be true

Hard to believe.
Republicans passed tax cuts for the rich under both Bush and Trump creating trillions in debt.

Republicans let Bin Laden go.

Republicans paid for wars via credit card.

Republicans are 90% white.

Replace Republicans with Democrats and everyone would know it was lies.

Is that what you think?
I guess if you limit the definition of Workers to Billionaires, it makes sense.

I have never met a poor man who created jobs....

Liberals continue to condemn the tax cuts being given to the owners of companies who used that money to come back to the US, to create more jobs, to created full-time jobs, to give their employees raises, to give their employees bonuses...owners who have helped Trump create an economy stronger than we have seen in DECADES.

This all happening as a result in investing in and giving those who create jobs and opportunities like this completely escapes the Democrats, who see all of this money - which they consider to be THEIR money - flowing back into the hands and pockets of Americans, and immediately fear the realization that this success is making Americans more successful, more independent, and LESS dependent on them!

I don’t see it. What are you basing all that on? Labor force participation low, wages growth low, first quarter was only 2.2% growth, and deficits are growing.

name a poor man that created a job!!!!

Why?

cause you said you don't see it. So show us where a poor man created jobs.

"The financial outlook for Medicare’s Hospital Insurance Trust Fund deteriorated in the last year, and Social Security still faces serious long-term financial problems, the Trump administration said on Tuesday.

The projections are the first from the administration since President Trump signed a $1.5 trillion tax cut into law in December. They show no sign that a burst of economic growth will significantly improve the finances of the government’s largest entitlement programs.

The Medicare trust fund will be depleted in 2026, the administration said. By contrast, the government said last year that the trust fund would be exhausted in 2029."

This is driving up the 10 year bond prices.

So the big socialist health care system is in trouble.

Count me shocked.

Why are you shocked that Republicans have been undermining SS & health care every chance they get, They lie about cost so they can blow the money elsewhere, & then point fingers saying see I told you it would fail.

Why are you lying about SS?

god I wish you had some education. you should actually look up entitlements and their failures. you might actually learn something. just so you know, one can't save SS or Medicare. They are losing programs, PERIOD, just like Welfare. It's why countries like the Soviet Union and such have gone broke fool. They are not sustainable. The GOP has been telling you that for over 20 years now. You don't wish to listen. All of the sudden now you care? LOL.

One last thing, if you took all of the trillions from the rich, you won't save SS or Medicare.

You Lie! Stop Deficits that cause prices to spiral out of control. Cut spending, not taxes to balance budget & create a surplus like Clinton did. Repubtards stole the money from the SS & Medicare trust funds at zero interest & gave them IOU's. Repubtards Lie about cost so they can under-fund programs to cause them to self-destruct later after they are out of office.
Repubtards emptying trust funds 3 years early in just 1 year. It could have easily extended them.

Republicans take money from Big Pharma to extend existing patents & ban importing low cost generics to keep US Drug Prices High. They do this to drain medicare with their "prescription drug program" Bush lied about!

clinton did not, but you're too lazy to check on that. And cutting spending is the only way to stop the deficit. And guess what, no one will touch SS or Medicare so how do you intend to do it?

Only 13% of business' tax cuts are going to workers, survey says

Tax cut scoreboard: Workers $6 billion; Shareholders $171 billion

Wow, this is one of the most expensive tax cuts in history. And at a time when corporations are doing really, really well. Why not share with the workers?

ARC: Athens County back to 'distressed' status

This is Appalachia, the center of the Republican Party. The area that has the 10 poorest counties in the United States. Those counties being more than 98% white.

Why not pass some of those tax cuts along as wage increases for whites living in the Appalachia area?

13% of cuts going to workers, not only is that 13% more than there would have been without the cuts, but they also went to new jobs.

The lying democrats like the OP are still trying to fool people into believeing that this improved economy is a bad thing.

We should never ever allow these crazed idiots to gain power again.

 

[jc456]

You are lying and you know it, here you earned these

Are you really that dishonest or do you not know republicans control the government?

they do. how do they do that?

And another dummy. Thanks for the laugh.

you don't know that the senate needs 9 democrats to pass a bill and you call me the dummy. yep, only in america.

And it took lots of repubs to pass all that spending and trump signed it! But you keep playing stupid, it fits you.

don't need the 9 dems for those kinds of bills. But the ones you keep referencing, they do. like healthcare, immigration and permanent tax cuts for the middle class. Why aren't the dems for permanent tax cuts for the middle class? I thought they were all for it. huh?
