    cant tax people when they lose their jobs. when businesses shutter. when industries go under.

    how much do we borrow right now each year? Under no circumstance can we tax people 100 trillion over 10 years

    • The NY law and the Virginia proposed law (which I doubt passes), are states doing what states want to do. Good for them. Ohio is going to pass a "heartbeat" bill (which will surely be challenged).

      Meanwhile, the significant majority of Americans are pro-choice for the first trimester and pro-life for the final trimester. But, if NY and Virginia want to allow a mother to terminate a pregnancy when she's fully dilated, welp....they have to live with it. The thing about the Virginia exception is "mental health" -- I mean, WTF is that? Sounds like a catchall that is always satisfied.

        It's not going to cost that much. But, in any event candidates are going to get their plans scored by the CBO/JCT and we'll find out what they think of them.

          sure it will. family leave, free college, free health care, and green new, along with our existing deficit, would be just about 100 trillion over 10 years.

                  • Russian stooge Trump disses intelligence community for speaking truth to power.



                    President Donald Trump chastised his own intelligence officials Wednesday morning for being soft on Iran a day after they contradicted numerous administration claims of foreign policy success.

                        As previously indicated, higher rates are correlated with higher growth.

                        • So tax to 100%. Send growth through the roof.

                          • Very sharp blog entry on NRO re hundreds of studies on growth in states: https://www.nationalreview.com/corne...tive-policies/

                            Duh. And, another duh -- the amounts and rates matter.

                            Meanwhile, Elizabeth Warren and her Progressive Socialist understanding of economics is proposing a wealth tax that even Denmark and Sweden have repealed.

                              right? if 15 dollars an hour spurs economic growth with no downside, why not make it 30 an hour? Or 60, or 100? Why stop at 15?
