There. Resident WHO political commentators and gurus can knock yourselves out in here and conduct your endless bickering. All other threads will be locked.

The tax cuts are $500bn a year and they’ve said it’ll add $300bn to the debt.
There is no real world scenario that pays for those tax cuts.

You can play dumb all you like, but this really is obvious stuff.




 
It’s not an exact science numbnuts. There are bulls and bears that’s what makes a market, some economists that are bearish some economists that are bullish. Some from either side have their algorithms. You and your propagandists are the Bears. That’s all it is.

It’s no inside secret and certainly not something you’d bet your house on.
Not an exact science but not something you get wrong by $300bn.
Like I said, you’d need growth which is historically unprecedented to cover the loss of tax revenues. To the point where it’s completely unthinkable and unimaginable.

So yes I’d bet my house on something that has less than 1% of happening.
You daft cսnt $300 billion is 1% of our $30 Trillion GDP.

“need growth that is unprecedented” what a cսnt’

GO away you Div!

Yep, kweer was 100% correct when he said his father made tools.

Done nothing but guarantee the party carves itself up into factions and eats itself alive.

By the time it's over and Nige is PM the Tories will be the opposition and the labour commies behind the ridiculous greens and the comical liberals.

Given the state of those 4 unless a credible centre left party emerges Reform will govern for a generation.

NEC core group will decide today whether the best candidate Andy Burnham will be allowed to stand for Parliament 
If they block him to protect the abysmal Starmer get ready for a Reform government

Keep reaching son. 
Like I said before, to cover the reduction of tax revenues you need growth way ahead of anything ever recorded.
£300bn on the national debt, every year.


Have a sit down and think that one through.

So they are not using the Gov’t job numbers in their algorithims? Are you sure? Where do they get their job numbers from then? I mean you can’t ignore jobs in any forecast.

And do they all have exactly the same number?

We’re talking about the best economists around.

they predict it using a model with huge numbers of data points used to model the impact. This is literally their job, it’s not a few fellas with an excel and some post it notes🤦🏻‍♂️

Possibly. We’ll find out exactly what data they put in to their algorithm. See how thorough they were. A ton of variables no doubt. I wonder if they count Tarrif revenue in their numbers? Although fuck knows how you’d predict that.

Not true, it’s been proven less tax means more consumer spending creating more GDP a vibrant economy and stronger markets which is good for your retirement accounts. Creates the wealth mindset effect, people fell better about spending. 

Once again you show your simpleton understanding of economics.

What’s interesting about the chart is if you select the 5 yr chart you’ll see that Interest rates took off in 2022, While Biden was in office, right around the time he announced his $5 trillion spending bill whilst telling us we had supply chain issues. 
 
And yet Trump has delivered more debt at a faster rate. 
And yet Interest rates are down and so is inflation, so is crime and drug death.

You know what’s up, GDP. As is Consumer sentiment and wage growth.
Up but slower than the Biden administration in ‘23 and ‘24.
