The [CB] has started the narrative that the tax cuts are going to the wealthy and his policies will bring the country into a recession. The country is already in a recession. Trump has now added more tariffs to the mix. Canada and Mexico will fold and give in to his demands. Tariffs will create jobs over the long run. The economic transition has begun. The [DS] is feeling the pain, they were put on display during Trumps congressional speech. The people saw how the Ds hate our country and how they were protecting their money laundering operation. The pain they are feeling will increase as their crimes are released to the public. In the end the D party will cease to exist once it's all exposed.

Trump’s lies on tax cuts are another gut punch to America’s working-class 

You know the old expression, numbers don’t lie?  

Well, they do when the numbers come out of President Trump’s mouth. 

Trump’s numbers don’t add up. If he were getting a math grade for his speech to the joint session of Congress, he’d fail miserably. 

Trump is worse than a student who hasn’t done his homework. He’s a president who routinely lies to mislead the public, justify his wrongdoing and distract us from the real harm he’s doing to Americans and the lasting damage he’s doing to America. 

Trump made a lot of promises about a new “golden age” for America. But in reality, he and congressional Republicans are getting ready to sell out Americans and our future so he can deliver massive tax cuts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Yes, the $4.5 trillion in tax cuts you’re referring to is largely tied to the continuation of the Trump tax cuts, specifically those enacted under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). Many of the TCJA’s provisions, particularly the individual income tax cuts, are set to expire at the end of 2025. Extending these expiring provisions is a significant part of what’s being discussed in current budget proposals.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and other analyses estimate that permanently extending the TCJA’s individual, estate, and certain business tax provisions would cost around $4.6 trillion over a 10-year period (2025–2034), including debt service costs. This figure aligns closely with the $4.5 trillion often cited in recent Republican budget resolutions, such as the House Budget Committee’s plan released in February 2025. That proposal explicitly allocates $4.5 trillion to the Ways and Means Committee to "lock in tax cuts," which is widely understood to mean extending the TCJA provisions that would otherwise expire.

  The TCJA lowered rates across all brackets. For example, the 15% bracket dropped to 12%, and the 25% bracket became 22%. If it expires, rates revert to pre-2017 levels (10%, 15%, 25%, 28%, 33%, 35%, 39.6%). A single filer earning $50,000 in 2025, for instance, would see their marginal rate jump from 22% to 25%, increasing their tax bill by a few hundred dollars annually.

Standard Deduction: The TCJA nearly doubled it—$13,850 for singles and $27,700 for married couples in 2023 (adjusted yearly for inflation). Post-expiration, it drops back to around $6,350 and $12,700 (pre-2017 levels, plus inflation). This means more income gets taxed, especially for those who don’t itemize, which is most working people. A couple taking the $27,700 deduction now could owe taxes on an extra $15,000 or so, adding roughly $3,000 to their bill at a 22% rate.

Child Tax Credit: The TCJA bumped it to $2,000 per kid (with $1,
