    BS. I suppose that starting $15 per hour tomorrow will have the same impact as spreading it out over 7 years.

    With that kind of rediculous reasoning paying cash for a $35 k car will have the same impact on your budget as spreading payments out for seven years. <COMMENTS EDITED>

    I'll go with the economists and the CBO, thanks.

    A self serving statement. Means nothing.

    No you aren’t. That’s not what was enacted. Besides, it’s solely based upon the present day tax cuts for the rich. Biden will try to revert back to Obama rates when he reduced the deficit by 60% , unlike repugs who raised it by 100% the first year way before the pandemic.

    That’s funny. The economists say that republicans had 11 of the last 12 recessions. Just like Bush, Trump has left the next president with a financial mess and now a medical catastophy.

    There were serious down sides to abolishing slavery
    , and instituting Medicare too.....for the south and those who wanted the status quo because they weren’t black or poor or old. The CBO says a lot good things about it .and if naysayers bothered to read it......

    You people are all the same, your Democrat governors that let rioting and violence go on for months it their cities where many deaths occurred, even a child was murdered as I recall and that’s ok.
    However some lunatic organization that has no connection to Trump breaks into the capital and now he deserves the death penalty.
    A bit one sided.
    Good lesson for your kids though: it’s ok as long as it’s only our side doing it.
