The GOP loves blaming the deficit on Social Security and Medicare. But the real culprit is giveaways to corporations and the rich. If not for the regressive tax cuts under Bush and Trump, we would have a stable debt-to-GDP ratio. That's one thing the GOP will never tell you.
@RBReich Since it’s not true, Republicans won’t tell you that, yes.
@RBReich @MontanaVoter The GOP will never tell you the truth either.
@RBReich Please, Mr. Economics, explain what exactly is being given away to the rich and corporations? I’ll wait.
@RBReich This is paraphrased. It's not taken out of context. America before Reagan had millionaires and a strong space program. After Reagan we have billionaires with their own space programs and millions of homeless.
@RBReich Like many of the things you say, that's not true. The revenue coming in to the government has more than doubled since the eighties. Government spending has just gone up even more. culturcidal.com/p/your-real-pr…
@RBReich @evenson_roy The levels of deficit occurs bc the top 1-2% not paying their share of taxes, & taking advantage of loopholes, under-staff of qualified IRS auditors, & massive Tax Cuts for Corp. & top 1-2%,& themselves. NB. Taxes are Gov. Revenues; Tax Cuts to the 1% = permanent Rev. Reduction.
@RBReich Wrong People keeping the $ they legitimately earn is not a "giveaway". The $ are theirs, not the gov'ts. All part of the big extreme radical left Democrat lie.
@RBReich How about cutting useless social programs that never make anything better?
