And probably a pretty good chance of that happening, given the divisions in congress.

There is no division in Congress when it comes to spending more money than we bring in. Both parties are in full agreement about that.

Amazing!
It is absolutely amazing how many people complain and complain about not ever getting a break; then when they do, they complain because they or someone else did. In contrast, it sounds to me like the OP is happy about his.
As for SS, that all came out at the end of last year. We got raises, but so did the Medicare deduction. Some have seen a slight increase in their net; others, have stayed the same. What we get in our SS checks is not part of the tax cuts the OP was talking about.

Sorry if this is slightly off topic but just to piggy back on some of the above posts about things being circular...or...you get one thing, they take from another, etc...I find it interesting that, as has been reported a lot today, the stock market does worse when the jobs market does better. BC of (fears of) inflation.
So the tax cuts lead to more employment, but the market does worse ultimately. Which taken at face value eventually leads to less employment. (But the market doing better.) And around and around it goes.... |

I just checked and my pension check from one of those nasty corporations I worked for most of my life went up about 142 dollars ! I live in FL, not one of those high taxed states up north so that is quite a raise for me !

We all love the raise. The problem is, its coming at the expense of the national debt.

The national debt has nothing to do with the tax rates. Congress will spend whatever taxes they collect and more. The national debt will keep going up regardless of the tax rates. When did Congress ever base their spending on the amount of taxes collected?

Wrong, more people hired because of lower corporate rate, higher wages due to competition for help, more jobs because companies are repatriating their money from overseas all translate into more tax revenue for the government, not less.

I agree that the tax cuts may generate more tax revenue, but that will have no affect on the national debt. Congress will just spend more money. The country needs to reduce spending, but I don't think it will ever happen.
