🇺🇸 TRUMP ANNOUNCES WHAT HE CALLS THE LARGEST TAX RELIEF PLAN IN U.S. HISTORY — ROLLING OUT NEXT MONTH.

HE CLAIMS AMERICAN FAMILIES COULD SEE AN EXTRA $11,000 TO $20,000 STAY IN THEIR ANNUAL INCOME.

The average taxes paid in 2022 was $13890
The bottom 50% paid $822

It would be near impossible to save between $11,000 and $20,000 unless you're in the top 25% of income earners.

Like the hearing yesterday, they aren't subtle.

It's an incredible time. I really thought Trump was going to be somewhat fiscally conservative, but not only will he not cut budget, despite making a big show of DOGE, he will cut revenue, despite grandiose claims of wanting to take in more money. He is just another swamp creature in DC. Ruining the next generations with mountains of debt, fewer allies, unsustainable trade wars with every nation on the planet, taking more power for the Executive Branch than ever before....

We will need a major reset after this. I cannot wait to vote to avoid a 3rd Trump term and be done with him forever.

Now, what's on the menu next? War with Iran? The very reason many independents said they couldn't support a Hilary Presidency?

I don't get all the Massie hate

I honestly do not know what Republicans stand for if they do not support Thomas Massie.

He advocates for limited government in domestic affairs, like Ronald Reagan, and a limited foreign policy, like Ron Paul and Pat Buchanan.

He's to the right of everyone in Congress.

— Liam McCollum (@MLiamMcCollum) February 11, 2026

---

Massie is conservative for sure. The problem is he is a no on about everything, including when his party is in power. IMO sometimes a small win is better than no win. He is not a reliable vote when republicans are in power. If we had a majority of massies and pauls we might actually make some progress on the deficit.

The jury is out... to this point I would consider Trump a peace President. His foreign adventurism has been methodical and measured... but the Israelis are telling all of their lap dogs in Washington DC to push for the war with Iran now... Marco Rubio, Israel's top lap dog, is actively trying to sabotage the negotiations with Iran... Trump sent two Israeli First Zionists to negociate America's interests, Jarred Kushner and Steve Witkoff... the only thing balancing the scale is the Gulf Arabs dont seem to want all out war with Iran right now.

If Trump attacks Iran and fights Israel's war he will destroy his legacy and be know as a war President, the very thing his voters voted against!

Jobs go where the money is. Until healthcare costs are not subsidized by OPM, the costs will continue to rise. Ever since the federal government has been putting up more mandates for insurers and employers, the cost of medical care has skyrocketed.

Just an example of average labor and delivery at a hospital:
2024

1950s
Key 1950s Cost Factors:

• Average Bill: A 1950 bill was about $131.84, while a 1956 bill was $107.55.
• Duration: The cost included a much longer hospital stayoften 6 to 7 dayscompared to 12 days today.
• Components: A 1955 bill showed room/care at $27, delivery room at $15, and nursery at $6.
• Context: In 1950, this cost was roughly 4% of an average annual salary.

$100 in 1950 is equivalent to $1300 in 2024. We've been getting hosed in medical costs even with the lowering of infant mortality rates (most of which is attributed to DPT vaccination and NICUs).
