    What are you going to do with $3752

    If you do not pay taxes you will not see a saving at all. The rates did not change (made permanent) so other than a 30k extra SALT deduction the "rich" aren't skewing the average upward though tipped employees, overtime employees and those on SS will.

    You missed the key part of that quote. "It assumes there would be no effect......" Its called static analysis.

    What are you going to do with $3752

    This bill didn't do anything for corporate rates which were made permanent in the prior bill. It does allow for immediate expensing of plant and equipment. Deficits are from spending. We have been under one Pelosi CR or another since the early 2000s under threat of a government shut down. Until...

    Much more, interestingly, in blue states like California and Massachusetts. https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/federal/obbba-average-tax-cuts-impact-map/

    Why doesn't Trump send troops to the cities with the highest crime rates?

    In July 2025, Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) Commander Michael Pulliam, who oversaw the 3rd District covering neighborhoods like Adams Morgan and Columbia Heights, was placed on paid administrative leave in mid-May 2025 amid allegations of manipulating crime statistics...

    Not just nice, a perfect reply.

    Why doesn't Trump send troops to the cities with the highest crime rates?

    Tell the mother who's child is failing for whatever reason that the child is statistically better of. You'd have thought the Obama's would be smart enough to know that their daughters would be better off in public schools. The Carters must have believed as you do.

    That was a concern that Joe Biden had when NG were deployed.

    Why doesn't Trump send troops to the cities with the highest crime rates?

    Very similar to telling residents or visitors in DC that statistically they are safer now. Parents need to be able to guide their children to their best outcome even if "statistically" it might not be the best. Things that make sense make sense. Children are not statistics. Victims are not...

    Why doesn't Trump send troops to the cities with the highest crime rates?

    That would require better "investors". Current city leadership is producing poor ROI. There are fine schools in both DC and Baltimore unavailable to many trapped in public schools. School choice with vouchers would give some a chance to excape. If you polled parents in either city, 70 +...

    Why doesn't Trump send troops to the cities with the highest crime rates?

    Every other city has a governor. DC has the president. Crime stats are self reported with incentives to fudge though DC is not unique in that. DC will ultimately be a model for the rest. It need not start as the worst. The next option would be to make all but the capitol, white house, mall and...

    You do not see anything unique about DC?

    10 STRIKING takeaways from Putin summit.

    The last 4 months or so of Biden encouraged both parties not to deal. Trump has never suffered lack of confidence or will to do the hard work. There are cards to play but do not come without costs. Sanctions that will cripple Russia are sanctions on those who purchase oil and gas. Tariffs so...

    10 STRIKING takeaways from Putin summit.

    Yes, Biden was all in for a forever war. That was his accomplishment.

    10 STRIKING takeaways from Putin summit.

    They talked on the phone, Trump from AF1 on way home from Alaska. 24 hour day for Trump. Biden spent every August on the beach. If he called, Biden accomplished nothing. Biden never once talked with Putin in person or on the phone.
