T1 is really T50 right?
168 should be fine for that, unless he really means T14.

Education, Infrastucture, or Environmental Protection doesn’t matter?



Go read article 1, section 8 before your first day of con law. None of that stuff is enumerated, except for arguably infrastructure that promotes interstate commerce, which I am fine with. Yes, we have had Supreme Court cases uphold environmental and educational laws, but I see that as the persistent creep of the federal government into every area of American life, which is beyond pervasive and bloated today. I would prefer a significantly smaller federal government with a much narrower scope of responsibilities.

Eta: I'm not saying education and environmentalism are bad or poor ideas. I'm saying that, when this nation was created, we specifically hamstrung the federal government so that it could not be used to implement every single "good idea" that comes around each decade or two. In other words, your ideas aren't repugnant or dumb; they are simply not authorized. If the overwhelming majority of the nation wants those things to be a role of the federal government, there is a mechanism to put it in the Constitution.

It’s legislative vote buying but the poor saps still end up with a net loss. “Trump got me a 3 hunerd dollar tax cut, maga bitches”, “aw man my cable and internet went up 6 hunerd dollars”

Your concerns with the bill are how it relates to an annual deficit, yes?

I always assumed T1 meant T14. I'd consider Bama to be upper T2.

Is it that simple for you? Exactly how much do you expect the federal government to do for you as a citizen?


FAR FAR FAR less than they do now. And that isn't even the point anyway.

I want to pay less taxes and until this bill passes i don't know if i will or not . Also Republican's only have fiscal responsibility when they are running for office. Once they get in office they don't give a shite.

I'm enjoying this year far more than the previous one. I have a final for 'Law Office Practice' tomorrow that should be a breeze.

Don’t you fear that too much of a shrunken Federal Government would eventually become a detriment? There should be more regulations and norms than just infrastucture shouldn’t there? I’m not disagreeing with you about the considerable growth within the the executive branch over the past few decades.

To me, all it seems like is Trump selling his base a piece of legislation that will only hurt them and their children in the long run along with a massive hole in the deficit to be blown that doesn’t sound like something conservatives and tea party members would be excited about


Per my calculations I would be one othe individuals that would see either the same Taxes or a slight increase and am still in favor of this tax bill because of what it will do for the economy. Right now the economy is treading up do to all the momentum built via repealing really stupid regulations, if this bill goes through the stock market should scream up and my investments will as well. Additionally, it is a good thing IMO for the country overall. Hopefully it carries over and we can repeal Obamacare and address the multitude of entitlement programs that are being abused.

No, this is precisely what I want. A federal government small enough to drown in a bathtub.

So why is everyone so eager to get this passed?


To the OP. This country has bills to pay. The populace is getting older. The Fed Govt gets bigger and bigger every year. How does your 20 year old mind propose we balance the budget? Reduce the deficit to zero? What do you propose we do? I would like to know your thoughts.
