We do not have a revenue issue, we have a spending issue, it starts with generational welfare, and it will get worse for states taking high amounts of illegals because well someone will have to pay for them!Raising taxes on anyone does not add to inflation, because it is literally money that consumers cannot spend. Not that raising taxes to raise taxes excites anyone besides "the Squad."
Unfortunately Trump was no better than anyone else. He cut taxes, with more $ going on avg to the rich than the workers, but then increased spending .... and deficits. At least he didn't start an elective war that was not necessary, like W.
Trump's actual policies are not all bad. Closing the border (which he did, and which "should" help wages rise from the bottom up. ) Tariffs? See above - consumer goods are more expensive, which means people will buy less .... unless some idiot gives consumers "free money" to buy more shit with. Biden's kept the tariffs. Wonder why? The answer is obvious, even if tariffs do NOT cause US wages to rise on products not made here.
Even the gop congress handed Trump his own ass when he tried repealing Obamacare, but he didn't have an alternative. Abortion illegal .... that's a clusterfk for the gop. So, imo, Trump was least effective when he tried to govern with 44%.
