Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
Decrease taxes? That’s a good way to give democrat politicians a heart attack.
We need more tax revenue not less. The state budget is not balanced by over 4 billion dollars because we are not making actuarial payments to the pension funds. We are running a deficit every year by basically borrowing this money from the pensions.
It’s time for the politicians and voters to be honest. We need to cut spending and increase taxes to make up for this shortfall. Pay more now or pay a lot more later.
