Turns out you can't really offset tax breaks to your rich friends with illegal regressive tariffs that slam working Americans.

Trump continues to set records. At this rate, the midterms are going to be an unmitigated disaster for the republicans.

The only way out of this is for Trump to manufacture a crisis that he can solve .

You can’t lose an election if you cancel the election. Looks like they’ve skipped past manipulating the votes.

If we’re really being honest, neither party has taken the fiscal deficit seriously. While we can argue which party increased it faster, it misses the point that neither party is willing to make tough spending decisions to get the budget under control, at the risk of their own political future. None of us could spend our credit cards the way that the U.S. spends its budget, and if we did our credit worthiness would drop significantly.
The higher the debt ceiling goes and the greater the total debt load, the more the U.S. economy becomes dependent on maintaining the our “exorbitant privilege”.

Well said, I completely agree. The only way to make a dent will be to increase tax revenue and cut frivolous spending at the same time, which one would think there should be bipartisan support considering both political sides run platforms on opposite side.

Hi, can someone tell me if I need to manually claim higher rate tax relief on Accenture UK workplace pension e.g. via self assessment?

It’ll be the first I ever heard about it if so…guess I’ve lost a load of money…???

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
