$100,000,000,000 additional tax cuts through indexing capital gains. I have a bunch of Apple stock I purchased in 2009 for around $15/share. This will help the ol’ ROCE.

But hey, thank your kids and grandkids for my tax cut. They’ll be paying for it.

They hope to cut social programs to pay for that.

In the Trump world, they cut revenue before even beginning to cut spending....brilliant.

Actually, I do. Revenue is 2% higher for same Jan-May periods comparing 2017 to 2018.
As it always is in a growing economy. The unanswerable is how much would revenues be up if no tax cuts? 1% 5% -11%

The part we should be focused on is the fact that the budget deficit widened by 23% during that same stretch.

I've been cashing in my stocks and lowering my market exposure over the last 3 years since I'm getting closer to retirement. Still holding a bunch of taxable stuff because I judged the tax exposure from selling to be worse than the risk/reward of holding. If this goes through it could change that picture. I'm surprised that this isn't causing more stir in the news. It will be entertaining to watch Bernie on this if it gets traction.

Great for you. The gov isn't entitled to your intelligence.
