OK, Spicer's position is tenuous, this isn't surprising.

Could you please not use tinyurl or quklnk unless there's some good reason to do so? It conceals the real URL, ie the masthead source and also the name the source gave to the article. Which normally one can see by hovering over the link. Seeing that stuff allows us to avoid giving hits to sites which some of us boycott, and actually get some idea of what you're actually talking about when you say "this is happening".

Well I can't make you of course, but please?

Yeah, well you're not getting that. Lower corporate tax rates will be in the Republican tax plan, and they'll pass. I'm not even too bothered about it, providing the new rate is somewhere in the middle of the OECD pack. 15% seems a bit low, but it probably won't be that low. Maybe 20% or 22%.

0% ... forget it. Along with abolishing welfare, your extremist agenda is not something Republicans will ever do.

Probably. For all that republicans love to decry excessive government spending, they sure do love to cut taxes.

Income tax brings in a lot more than corporations tax, for the feds. But cutting corporations tax extremely would also reduce income tax (and payroll tax, which funds USSS) as people would incorporate and restructure their employment contracts to get more after-tax.

ANY cut in corporations tax would have some effect that way, but it would really kick in if the corporation tax goes below the effective tax rate of a median employee.

Yes, but national debt nevertheless exists.

I think I've heard of a plan out of congress with that general idea before, but I can't put my finger on it.

Thanks. I'll just note that tinyurl seem to be aware of that problem because their short links take you to an intermediary page where the full URL is displayed, rather than going straight to it. That's the default on tinyurl, you can turn it off.

Agreed.

Say, that's a pretty good idea. I wonder why no one's ever thought of it before.

So Obamacare dealt with hospitals where since more people had insurance certain monetary aids to hospitals was pretty much removed. I wonder what will happen with the repeal.

I actually had to look up what you guys were talking about. I hadn't seen the news.

First article I found was the Washington Post correction that spicer was not "in the bushes" but "among the bushes".

Which, that's the funniest correction i've read in a while.
