I am no liberal. Most of my economic beliefs are probably more conservative, such as free trade and limited government.
Which is why I hate this tax bill and Trump in general. He's going to explode the deficit by increasing spending on the military while at the same time giving massive tax breaks to people who don't need it at a time when the economy is near full employment.
I just don't see any ending to this that is positive for the country. I see higher inflation, worsening income inequality and massive pressure on the country's middle class. Also, combined with his trade and immigration policies, plus a massive opioid epidemic, I don't see where the workers are going to come from to fuel the economic growth Trump wants to achieve.
Plus, if you tear up trade deals, you shrink the market for your own goods while reducing competition, which drives up prices.
The problem is that you see me as liberal because I disagree with many current Republicans on issues such as immigration, trade, government spending (specifically defense spending), equal rights for all people, education, health care, abortion and a host of other issues. But that doesn't mean I think Democrats are right on a lot of issues, either.
But don't paint me with a brush just because I have enough common sense to know when I am getting fed a load of BS just because you are happy swallowing it.
