The Congress Budget Office (CBO) re-estimated its 10-year budget forecasting-and loving, increasing their tax revenue baseline to $ 1.9 trillion.
This is the same organization that has been telling us for years that tax revenue always decreases in low tax rates and budget deficit increases. But wait for a minute: 2017 Trump Tax Cut has been over 7 years. So now CBO suggests that they were accepting that the Laffer curve really worked? And Low tax rates Produced high tax revenue? This is saying his new forecast.
In fact, the huge decrease in the corporate tax rate of President Trump from 35% to 21%, in the last 7 years, corporate tax revenue has compulsorily doubled. And in fact, throw down in low personal income tax and other pro-development measures, the entire federal tax revenue base has increased by about 50%. So how can the CBO come back correctly in the world and now can say that if the trump tax cut is extended, then the cost of 10 years is going to be $ 4 trillion? What is the cost of what? There is no cost.
Keep taxes low and revenue will be high. There will be a better avoidance and better increase. Lafer is correct for almost 50 years. CBO is wrong for almost 50 years. And here they walk again, trying to tell us that the expansion of Trump tax cuts is going to increase the budget deficit to $ 4 trillion as revenue will be low.
It is absolute nonsense and Republican, Senate and White House in the House should fight this CBO nonsense. Till now, one of the fighters has been Idaho’s Senator Mike Capo (R) – who keeps on arguing that if you are only expanding the current law, we are not increasing the taxes or not reducing taxes. Are you There is no $ 4 trillion new deficit. But if the tax bill is not increased, you will have $ 4 trillion tax hike and the lack of budget over time will be worse. Mr. Capo calls it the current policy and hopes that Republicans will officially fight to change the budget rules.
Is an example. In 2012, Congress and President Obama extended the George W Bush tax cut using the current policy argument, assuming that the bush tax will continue – not finished. Mr. Capo has said time and again that the CBO does not increase permanent spending as a hiking of deficit every year – and hence they should not increase permanent tax. Otherwise, the entire federal fiscal system is like a pinball machine on permanent inclination: always promoting high taxes, high expenses and even high deficit.
Republican should work hard to reduce unnecessary and reverse federal expenses. They should shrink Government size and scopeBut if they allow them to end tax cuts, they are going to find themselves at the same time with a terrible economy and high deficit.
This is a defeat.
Mr. Trump said that we should never get tired of winning. Let’s start Extension of cut cuts And increasing the economy by 3- or perhaps to 4% per year.
Call it a blue-collar boom.
