Breaking news, taxing people leads to more government money. Next on water is wet news.
I think the news here is that the money actually went towards reducing the deficit rather than being spent on something else.
I don’t know why youd think that when they have plans for the money and it sure as hell won’t be to reduce the deficit.
It’s because they don’t have plans for the money and it was used to reduce the deficit
Might want to reread that article because it’s not reducing anything, they are spending more money not less.
What do you think “deficit rate” means?
But at what cost? Businesses are closing because they cannot afford to pay the tariffs on their products.
Wasn’t it Dick Cheney who said “Deficits don’t matter” a while ago?
