I do not recall that Senator Young voiced such concerns or objections when Donald Trump racked up trillions of dollars in debt. Wonder what caused his change of mind.
It’s very simple. Donald Trump is embarrassed by the idea that someone else would actually make it infrastructure week, so unless Young wants to get primaried by whomever Trump decides will do his bidding, he must do what Dear Leader wishes.
And Young figures the bill will pass anyway, so he can flip flop and come out against better infrastructure.
Lot of courage on Young’s part. But, hey, he’s got his priorities. They’re just not the voters of Indiana.
Politician placing a calculated political bet – passage is highly likely, so take the opposing position in a state that leans to the ideology of opposing. Won’t cost constituents anything when it passes and maintains the cloak of ideological purity for the politician, adding to his cred. Then, after it passes, claim credit for both the reinvestment in Indiana as well the “improvements” to the bill he personally accomplished. Disingenuous and politically shrewd simultaneously.
+1
This is exactly why Im starting to dispise politics.Way too much pandering to special interest and to their own political agenda as well as careers. Its never about the people or what the country really needs but always about getting in line with what the party wants.In this case what Trump wants!
GOP didn’t care to be fiscally conservative under Trump. Deficit increased $7.8mm, the 3rd highest ever under a President. $4.8mm was pre-pandemic primarily from the 2017 tax cuts for the wealthy. While I think the $3.5mm infrastructure bill is too much and I approve of moderate increases to taxes. the GOP is socialism for the rich. They need to cut out all the loopholes for the rich. Like the Roth IRA which allowed the Paypal to generate $5 billion in tax free value.
Not following your logic on the Roth IRA. Government collects taxes on the money invested today…so how is this “tax-free”?
and also the Tax Payer Relief Act of 1997 was signed by President William Jefferson Clinton. This created the Roth IRA.
So how is this Trump’s fault Mark B?
Mark S. Read the ProPublica article on this (https://www.propublica.org/article/lord-of-the-roths-how-tech-mogul-peter-thiel-turned-a-retirement-account-for-the-middle-class-into-a-5-billion-dollar-tax-free-piggy-bank). Not illegal, just disturbing.
Mark S. I wasn’t blaming Trump for the Roth IRA rules. I was blaming Trump for the 2017 tax cut for the wealthy. My point on the Roth IRA is in addition to moderate increase in taxes for infrastructure , eliminate the loopholes like the Paypal guy used to create $5 billion of tax free money while investing virtually no after tax money.
Todd Young and Mike Braun continue to legislate for everyone’s crazy uncle slinging conspiracy theories and racists remarks at family dinner. Keep up the terrible work boys.
Both Young and Braun are awful.
do not reelect Young or Braun. Compromise is how government should work. And, no bill is perfect. What pray tell does Young want and is his pet peeve important enough to deny the infrastructure improvements needed throughout the nation for all citizens. The key aspect is to ensure that areas and constituents receive the infrastructure elements appropriate and needs for their respective areas, be it roadways — such as the abysmal I-65 pavement and poorly designed freeway interchanges in Indiana — bridges such as the Brent Spence in the Cincinnati area, broadband in rural on other areas without powerful lobbyists, local streets and sidewalks (Indianapolis!), sewers and stormwater protection and control, water in parched areas and for agriculture, port modernization, transit (urban and rural). Some in Congress, such as Young and Braun, want to derail the process because they fell certain aspect of the bill are not worthy per their purview (but without any justification or analysis, so similar to vindictive bills promulgated by some at the Indiana Statehouse). Young and Braun must explain their choice and actions.
An early version had increased funding for the IRS, with a crack down on the 7 and 8 figure annual income crowd who do not pay their fair share in taxes. Data shows that for every $1 added to IRS enforcement, it collects $8 in additional taxes. The Rs objected to that policy, which shows their support for the wealthy extends to the tax dodging rich. Young never mentions what he thinks of that idea or if he was one of the objectors. What a system, let McConnell be the only vocal supporter of tax dodgers while other Rs ride silently on his coat tails. If one gets discussed with politics, this is a good example of why.
Prohibiting the IRS from going after tax cheats and evaders is one way the GOP seeks to reduce the size and reach of the federal government. After all, they believe, starve the government of funding (either through tax cuts that result in lower revenue or by tying the hands of the tax collectors) and the government will lack the necessary resources to do what it is supposed to do.
All of the politicians don’t get upset over the millions spent on campaigns. All of that money could improve our country and feed many people who need help. But if we want to spend money to create jobs which relates to more tax income, they flinch. Just who do these people really represent? If Young is our Senator, then he needs to think in terms of what will truly benefit our state, not just his job.
I would put MAJOR campaign finance and term limits as the utmost priority but those elected sure don’t want that!!!
Get out of Indiana we don’t want you and Never!!!! Have!!!! Weirdo!!!!! Backwards Hill jack!!! Your in the wrong state and region!!!!!
This what happens when real people don’t vote like they should!! Embarrassing nerd! You don’t represent us in ANY way!!!! Young or Braun! Or Holcomb!!! Get!!!!!!!
