Trump Pushes Payroll Tax Cut Because He's Awesome President

[MAGAman]

wow, look at how low the deficit had gotten till the Repubs took over again.

Newsflash, the deficits with Obama as POTUS only got smaller after the Congress went Republican.

Google about how spending bills are enacted and give Pelosi a call .

 

[Harpy Eagle]

And we are cutting payroll taxes because of the weakness of the economy

No.

Learn about economics sometime and you won't have to ask childish questions.

Start with employment numbers.

Good atuff.

It was not a question moron, it was a statement of fact.

They are enacted by the POTUS signing them.

 

[MAGAman]

They are enacted by the POTUS signing them.

So you now understand Congress writes every single spending bill?

Glad to be of help.

Congress writes every single bill, or any sort. The President signs every single bill that becomes law. They are in it together, both bear responsibility.

You are also ignoring the fact the deficit shot up like a rocket when your beloved Repubs controlled both parts of Congress and the White House

 

[MAGAman]

It was not a question moron, it was a statement of fact.

You made a statement of ignorance.

Employment is record high, the last couple of months employment has been adjusted upward, meaning it's even better than we thought.
.
You just need to put on your big girl panties and face the fact that America isn't the shithole that Democrats like you keep praying for.

Leave it to liberal media to complain about a tax cut for working class folks. This is how Trump won over Rust Belt Democrats. Fucking Democrats out of touch with reality.

We're running Trillion Dollar deficits. Social Security is running out of money. This really didn't make sense when Obama did it in 2010. It makes less sense now.

I ignore nothing.

I've said repeatedly that Trump and the GOP have been utter failures in deficit management.

You just can't admit your precious Democrats are worse.

Employment is always the last domino to fall moron.

2 months after the last recession started we added 235,000 jobs. The UE rate did not start to climb for almost a full year after the recession started.

No, the Dems are not worse but they are just as bad. That is why I vote for and support neither.

wave a 'tax crumb' in front of some folks, and they just lose all reason

It's a bipartisan failure.

Spending cuts are the solution neither side wants to touch.

You may have forgotten just how bad GW was. I think it was all on purpose too. No one's that stupid. Let Bin Ladin go when he had him cornered? That was on purpose. Lied us into Iraq? On purpose. Trump hasn't lied us into a full blown war yet.

Do you intentionally remain ignorant or do you just enjoy drifting down DENIAL river on your raft?

"The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow."
- President Clinton in 1998 “

[…], when I say to Saddam Hussein, "You cannot defy the will of the world", and when I say to him, "You have used weapons of mass destruction before; we are determined to deny you the capacity to use them again.”
- President Clinton , Jan. 27, 1998 – State of the Union

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."
- President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998 .

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
- President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998.

“Earlier today, I ordered America’s armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraqis nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors.”

“Their purpose is to protect the national interest of the United States, and indeed the interests of people throughout the Middle East and around the world.”

“Saddam Hussein must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas or biological weapons.”

- President Bill Clinton, Dec. 16, 1998


"We must stop Saddam from ever again jeopardizing the stability and security of his neighbors with weapons of mass destruction."
- Madeline Albright, Feb 1, 1998 Clinton Secretary of State

"Saddam's goal ... is to achieve the lifting of U.N. sanctions while retaining and enhancing Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs. We cannot, we must not and we will not let him succeed."
- Madeline Albright, 1998 Clinton Secretary of State

"(Saddam) will rebuild his arsenal of weapons of mass destruction and some day, some way, I am certain he will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983."
- Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998 "

Update: September 8, 2005 - Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser was sentenced to community service and probation and fined $50,000 for illegally removing highly classified documents from the National Archives and intentionally destroying some of them..

[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." Letter to President Clinton.
- (D) Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, others, Oct. 9, 1998 .

"As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am keenly aware that the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons is an issue of grave importance to all nations. Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
- Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998 .


Former Vice President Joe Biden urged the U.S. government in 1998 to pursue a strategy to ‘dethrone’ Saddam Hussein over allegations the Iraqi strongman was hiding weapons of mass destruction.

Biden, the-then ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was one of President Bill Clinton’s most vocal allies in the battle to pressure Hussein to abide by terms established after the Gulf War requiring Iraq to destroy its stockpile of chemical weapons. - Former Vice President Joe Biden 1998 1998: Joe Biden Urged U.S. to 'Dethrone' Saddam Hussein Over WMDs

"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies."
- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999 .


"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them."
- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002 .

"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power."
- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002.

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction."
- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002 .

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons but has not yet achieved nuclear capability."
- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002.

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force -- if necessary -- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002 .

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002.

"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."
- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002.

"Saddam Hussein's regime represents a grave threat to America and our allies, including our vital ally, Israel. For more than two decades, Saddam Hussein has sought weapons of mass destruction through every available means. We know that he has chemical and biological weapons. He has already used them against his neighbors and his own people, and is trying to build more. We know that he is doing everything he can to build nuclear weapons, and we know that each day he gets closer to achieving that goal."
- John Edwards, Oct 10, 2002

"The debate over Iraq is not about politics. It is about national security. It should be clear that our national security requires Congress to send a clear message to Iraq and the world: America is united in its determination to eliminate forever the threat of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction."
- John Edwards, Oct 10, 2002

“We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction."
- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002 .

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America’s response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction. That is why the world, through the United Nations Security Council, has spoken with one voice, demanding that Iraq disclose its weapons programs and disarm. So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but it is not new. It has been with us since the end of the Persian Gulf War."
- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003" (Currently President Barack Hussein Obama’s Secretary of State)

I am absolutely convinced that there are weapons...I saw evidence back in 1998 when we would see the inspectors being barred from gaining entry into a warehouse for three hours with trucks rolling up and then moving those trucks out."
- Clinton's Secretary of Defense William Cohen in April of 2003


"Saddam is gone and good riddance," former President Bill Clinton said yesterday, but he urged President Bush to resist trying to get even with nations that opposed the war.


"There are German and French soldiers in Afghanistan today. Does the President want them to come home?" Clinton said at a Manhattan forum on corporate integrity.


Democrats on Iraq + WMD's (Weapons of Mass Destruction)





He [President Clinton] praised Bush and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for their handling of the war, but said Bush should have waited longer before attacking for the "chance that either [Saddam Hussein] would have disarmed or . . . we would have had far more members of the Security Council with us."


Clinton also said Bush should not be faulted if banned weapons of mass destruction aren't found.


"I don't think you can criticize the President for trying to act on the belief that they have a substantial amount of chemical and biological stock. . . . That is what I was always told," Clinton said.
- Former President Clinton Wednesday, April 16, 2003

"Could Be One of the Great Achievements of This Administration" The vice president said he’d been to Iraq 17 times and visits the country every three months or so. "I know every one of the major players in all the segments of that society" he said. "It's impressed me. I've been impressed how they have been deciding to use the political process rather than guns to settle their differences."
- Vice President Joe Biden (D) Feb. 10, 2010

How has the war President Barack Hussein Obama said we SHOULD have been fighting going? How is the Middle East going now that President Obama is President? Oh, Afghanistan just crossed 2,330 American fatalities. Seventy percent of whom died since President Obama took office.

In the months before the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the reporters in the Knight Ridder Newspapers Washington D.C. bureau were virtually alone in their questioning of the Bush Administration’s allegations of links between Saddam Hussein, weapons of mass destruction and international terrorism. The team of Knight Ridder reporters, led by Jonathan Landay, Warren Strobel, John Walcott and Joe Galloway, produced stories that now read like a prescient accounting of how the Bush Administration sought to sell the war to the American people. Walcott and Landay spoke with The Huffington Post about the fifth anniversary of the war. Knight Ridder Newspapers has since merged with McClatchy Newspapers.

well the same information Bush had so did Congress. They passed the move into Iraq. So don't waste our time with partisan ass wiping. what a fking tool you are. at least post factual shit you low life.

Trump pushes payroll tax cut and assistance for hourly workers in coronavirus economic response - CNNPolitics

Trump wants to give a shortfall to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, a plan which would become a greater burden on the budgets, and thus give the RW an argument to privatize these programs. It is dishonest, it gives corporations and business more revenue that will not be passed on to the working people.

The same crap that the lame duck Republican H. of Rep. under Ryan passed the tax fraud, which benefited corporations with 2/3 of the tax cut, and who didn't pass it on to their workers, but used it to buy back stocks, donate to the R Party and enrich the Senior Officers.

Stupid people believe this post is "funny"

naw, they're laughing at you!

How does a payroll tax cut help if someone loses their job or are forced to stay home and are not receiving a paycheck?

Get another job, there's plenty of them out there.

that's a very good question. why are events shutting down? Please enlighten us.

Payroll taxes are taxes withheld directly from employers and paid directly to the IRS. This means that Americans on a payroll, which are non-business owners, the people who make up the vast majority of the middle class, are going to have more money left in their paychecks. If you need any more of an explanation of why this is good for the American worker then you’re literally just stealing oxygen from the rest of us.

My Oxygen intake is just fine. I take what I need and no more.

I can change the payroll tax withheld by filing a form with my employer. #of exemptions.
I currently have an additional amount of $650 per month taken out beyond the current level.
Why?
I have a part time job and they consider me only making $30k per year, so the FIT withheld is low.
But I know that I must add this to my other income and my wife's income.

I do this because I don't want to pay on April 15th.
This payroll tax WILL IN FACT make a paycheck higher, but come April 15th, the tax burden is still the same.

How hard is it for you RWI's to understand this.

Really? I don't believe you.

Why would income taxes be in a discussion about payroll taxes?

Are you confusing them?

How hard is it for you RWI's to understand this.

Irony is ironic.

todd,
on this one you responded to,
I can change the payroll tax withheld by filing a form with my employer. #of exemptions.

That dude was spot on, it's called a W4 form and it is provided to employers as instructions on how much tax money they should withhold from an employee's paycheck. I just fell into this trap with my wife's SS payment. My salary, plus her SS money put us in another tax bracket and as such, we owe on our 2019 tax return. Now she will need to ask SS to take out federal tax dollars on each month's check. Again, one instructs the employer off a W4 form. So, that poster was correct. Just some information for you.

again obammy had 10 trillion. but you didn't care. now you do, why?

Again, when Obama took office we were at near depression levels in the economy. He inherited that situation from Bush, so why blame Obama?
Furthermore, once the economy began to recover deficits went down under Obama. A recovery hindered by the Repubs preventing Obama from exactly the kind of stimulative deficit spending they approved under President Flim Flam. I'm betting the 2020 deficit will be the largest in our history thanks to the tax cut giveaway to the rich and the onset of the virus.

and again, obammy added 10 trillion to that.

He must feel guilty that his response to the coronavirus has caused the stock market to plunge. It has no confidence in his leadership.

The stock market plunge has nothing to do with Trump, but you already knew that.

I disagree. The lack of confidence started with the mismanaged tariffs, cutting funding to the CDC, and placing his reelection needs before the good of the nation.

he didn't cut funding to the CDC. you're feeding us talking points rather than facts. I already provided a link to that misrepresentation in another thread in here.

The Trump administration fired the U.S. pandemic response team in 2018 to cut costs.

They can't stop him from firing people and not replacing them.

On February 28, 2017, Trump announced he did not intend on filling many of the numerous governmental positions that were still vacant, as he considered them unnecessary. According to CNN on February 25, there were nearly 2,000 vacant government positions.

Wake up stupid.
