A key claim of last year’s Republican tax bill was that a multi-trillion-dollar deficit from billionaire tax cuts and expanded ICE funding would be offset by tariff revenue.

Although this is true, do you believe Trump’s new tariffs (announced today) will offset the revenue lost from these tariffs?

funnylike

And now he’s raised them to 15%. Seems like a desperate play to get as much as he can in the next 150 days. It will be interesting to see whether importers delay shipments until after the deadline, in hopes the tariffs will drop, or accelerate them to avoid the potential higher rates

Trump and his admin also claimed tariff revenue would go to:
1. $2k tax refunds for middle and low earners (that alone would be 150% the projected tariff revenue)
2. Pay for ICE expansion
3. Pay farmers
4. Pay down debt
5. Pay to keep WIC solvent during shutdown
6. Pay troops during shutdown
7. Cut income taxes
8. Pay for the golden dome

Throw on top of that 500B, 50% increase to military budget instead of healthcare and education. Yeah.. that’s going to go real well for chuds in the midterms. Thankfully they shoot themselves in the foot without prompting, I just feel sadness for the collateral damage until MAGA finally destroys itself as the average American loses all faith and we can move on

I would happily push the eject button if we could swap in a John McCain type Republican right now even though I didn’t fully agree on his hawkish foreign policy views

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

Hello,

My name is Aaron Silverberg. I am a fish wandering down stream looking for a school to grow with.

I am in search of a full-time job in the digital marketing industry to help build on my entrepreneurial and marketing interests gained from the pop-up pizza shop I started in the summer of 2020 “Sadies.” 

I am interested in building a brand, creating a following, growing a community and seeing how that brand maintains its image.

Hope to get in touch and have a nice weekend!

Being from Minnesota, I think it's so funny when people act as if we are some far-left State just because we hadn't voted Republican in a presidential election since Nixon. Never mind that many of our elections are close or that we have elected Republican Senators and governors.

I have voted for both the GOP and the DFL, and I feel like they are both far more normal than their national counterparts
