seriously - too many people see criticism of Israel's government and read it as condemnation of all Jews. As if it's the case that that government represents all Jewish people worldwide (or even all Jewish people in Israel...!)
It's like people are thinking that wanting Israel to stop its genocide also means there should be another genocide targeting Jews?? Nuance beyond that sort of black-and-white polarized viewpoint seems to be increasingly dead.
Tariffs aren't external revenue. They're paid by the importer/consumer of the foreign goods (i.e. within the United States.) For starters, the current and proposed tariffs come nowhere close to the amount of money needed to replace income taxes. In addition, if the tariffs successfully discourage American consumers from buying products that they apply to, the money generated by the tariffs also drops even further...
Really it doesn't hold up to any scrutiny at all if you think about it even a little bit. To champion it like you're doing... at best, you have no understanding of the mechanisms being discussed, and you're believing their lies hook, line, and sinker. At worst, you are doing a poor job of trolling or are deliberately spreading propaganda. And given you know how to type, it's very sad that you don't know better, because you should.
That is a false dichotomy. There is no reason not to simplify the tax code and close loopholes while also ensuring the IRS has the resources it needs to adequately hold wealthier taxpayers accountable. Please participate in good faith.
The IRS is a good thing. It was starting to go in a better direction re: having increasing resources and capability to audit wealthier entities before this admin.
researchers described the canceled projects at the department’s Institute of Education Sciences as rigorous evaluations of how the federal government spends education dollars, efforts to improve the reading and math skills of U.S. students and guides for teachers on evidence-based methods of instruction. Many of the projects were near completion and had mostly been paid out, which means that the implied savings are likely much less than $881 million touted by DOGE.
In case someone in your life still needs more evidence that they're full of shit
let's hope some actual evidence of "inefficiency" is needed and not just the bare assertion of it, because you know that will be the trump admin's immediate next step
The article you linked describes plans reaching up to 1000Mbps (1Gbps).
That's only 2% of the speed of the theoretical 50Gbps maximum OP's article discusses (and 10% of the 10Gbps real-world speeds currently available in China according to the same article). I think you have your units mixed up.
They're mail-in, but they provide the shipping label and you get a hefty coupon.
