    Why are you talking about Oklahoma's post? He linked something from 2024. Why are you ignoring the CBO estimate?

    "estimates" and the word "could" don't make it so

    Given the fact that the CBO was right with Trump's last tax cut I think you should pay more attention than with just quotation marks

    I love tax cuts and they did increase our tax revenue- again, estimates and could do not mean will

    I do everything legally allowed to reduce my tax liability

    I can understand Make a Wish, but why would you donate to planned parenthood- they kill over 1000 unborn children a day

    He won't have to, because inflation caused by this bill increasing the debt $3.3.trillion will make the net reduction a negative number

    So you prefer the "hopes and vibes" when it comes to fiscal planning over budget estimates?

    It’s hard to fathom how maga has no issue with exploding our debt.

    It use to be “our children will pay for it so cares”. But this is getting so bad we’ll all see the impacts.

    LOL. Just read the "no tax on tips" section. It's only for "cash" tips. No one pays taxes on cash tips today. Suckered again.

    You could say the same thing about the tariff incompetence but we both know you never would. The tariffs "could" help but most likely not

    A disingenuous comment..

    Can't issue contracts when legislation is yet to pass and hopefully it doesn't, but SpaceX is in front of the line to benefit, which I'm sure you could figure out.

    You asked how much Musk will get no way to know that since there are no contracts but i would expect SpaceX to get some of those contracts because they’re a leader in their field

    And the people you support and vote for just voted to increase the debt by trillions so balancing the budget can't be that important to you.

    That old tired statement from you that you read in some old business book? See the 90's under Clinton.
