So you do support raising corporate income taxes or not? 

 

Harris was all for it. 

 

 

 

The US taxpayer is currently funding approx $850 billion p,a, to service the interest on approx $35 trillion of national debt. IMO one method to assist servicing the debt would be to increase corporate tax. However, people who have a much greater understanding of the US economy will have published research papers, why not seek out the content e.g.

Donald Trump has convinced many Americans that the economy is terrible, but a new analysis shows that's just as false as his election fraud claims that fueled the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Anyone wanting any understanding at all would seek out papers that aren't 11 years out-of-date and include erroneous forecasts.

Rising the corporate tax will do nothing to service the debt.   No one in the government has a plan to address the growing debt issue.

Of course, Trump will blame Biden for Trump's failed policies despite the fact that he inherits a good economy: low inflation, GDP growth 3 times higher than other G7 countries, low unemployment... He can blame Biden for the debt level increase under Biden, but Biden cannot be held responsible for the debt increase Trump will cause (but he will blame Biden for it, anyway).

 

The debt is heavy enough to break the economy already. Biden can be blamed at least as much as anyone else.

We'll find out when Trump's tariffs mean China won't be buying any more Oz dirt.

It's not looking good for a country that depends on selling dirt.

You talking trough your backside again

Biden can be blamed for the debt level, among others  that's exactly what I wrote.

 

Whether the current debt level will break the economy or not is just speculation for the time being (in particular if the Fed further cuts interest rates.

 

Do you think Trump's program may lead to a debt decrease or even a debt stabilisation?

The "current" debt level is rather dynamic (always going up) and has the potential to bust the economy at any time, especially in the case of default. It was increasing even when interest rates were zero for so long. Other debt classes like mortgages, credit card debt, student loans, auto loans and personal loans and corporate debt are all risky now.

 

I don't know enough about Trump's program yet but I can't see the government debt going down soon, in any case.
