How about this or there are more...let's be clear. I do not believe any of this will come to fruition. My point was and will always be on almost everything he said and says is a lie.
But good catch by you..appreciate it...note the impact on national debt in this summary, and note that his income level is the big gainer.
"This paper analyzes presidential candidate Donald Trump’s revised tax proposal, which would significantly reduce marginal tax rates, increase standard deduction amounts, repeal personal exemptions, cap itemized deductions, and allow businesses to elect to expense new investment and not deduct interest expense.
His proposal would cut taxes at all income levels, although the largest benefits, in dollar and percentage terms, would go to the highest-income households. Federal revenues would fall by $6.2 trillion over the first decade before accounting for added interest costs. Including interest costs, the federal debt would rise by $7.2 trillion over the first decade and by $20.9 trillion by 2036."

So, the author you called out is absolutely correct and on target, but this might reinforce and add the national debt increase.
Again, I do not think this happens, but Trump plays with facts.
Thanks for, at least, staying close to the subject in replying. Never mind critique. |
More liberals Rocky...
"A Letter from Sarah Rosen Wartell, President, on the Commitment to Greater Diversity and Inclusion at the Urban Institute
The Urban Institute strives to be a vibrant, creative community of skilled and committed people who bring to their work a whole range of different experiences. That means differences in race and ethnicity, in academic discipline and mode of inquiry, in faith and political perspective, in abilities and disabilities, in service, in gender identification and sexual orientation, and more. But, like many other research organizations, universities, businesses, and nonprofits, the Urban Institute has far to go in its journey toward full diversity and inclusion.
Our mission is to bring evidence to bear on challenges facing an increasingly diverse country, where inequities persist. To advance this mission, I believe we must attract and support diverse identities, experiences, talents, and thought processes within our institution. We must work harder to recruit and retain all the talented people who can provide insights and solutions for an increasingly diverse society. We must think intentionally about how we can learn from and speak to audiences that reflect the rich diversity of America’s communities. We must create safe spaces for hard but trusting conversations among colleagues about their own experiences within our community and how its norms and practices may affect different contributors differently.

"At Brookings, diversity is defined as the characteristics and attributes that make each one of us unique. Diversity has many dimensions, including race, gender, and physical ability. Other dimensions may include, but are not limited to, ethnicity, national origin, nationality, religion, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identification, and age. Even more broadly, diversity includes geographic location, work experience, family status, socio-economic class, and diversity of political thought."

Just more liberal BS. As I said before...be careful WHO is doing the writing.
Diversity is the LAST thing truly intelligent "think tanks" would want. A differing opinion isn't worth a damn if it's wrong. Would you go to the special education class to look for people for your debate team? Then why would you want minorities in your "think tank"? Might as well let people bring in their pets...their ideas are about as clever. When an organization is so concerned with diversity I don't give them much credence.
