How the Trump Administration Is Giving Even More Tax Breaks to the Wealthy

www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/b...
Trump signed a $4 trillion package of tax cuts into law in July.
His Treasury and IRS rolled back crackdowns on tax shelters where companies like Occidental Petroleum and AT&T see $100B in cuts. Regulations that banned claiming duplicate over-seas losses are gone.

The U.S. economy is on top of the world? Really? It doesnโ€™t necessarily feel like that to everyone living here. This is why.

In 2024 the U.S. Economy was on Top of the World www.marketplace.org/story/2024/1... 10.20.2024 Simon Rabinovitch, The Economist: "The story is that, certainly since COVID โ€” over the last 3 or 4 years โ€” the recovery in America has been much stronger than in virtually any other advanced economy."

Walmart Thanksgiving meal 25% cheaper, but contains half as many items President Donald Trump is pointing to Walmartโ€™s new Thanksgiving meal deal as proof that prices are coming down, but missing context shows the drop may have more to do with whatโ€™s in the basket thanโ€ฆ

What is Trumpโ€™s new TrumpRx website and will it bring medicine prices down? The US president has launched the website to reduce the cost of prescription drugs for Americans.

aje.io/jygjzh Pfizer to offer discounts of up to 85% on its medicines for those not using health insurance policies, but buying via a new government portal TrumpRx when it is launched. Trump ended many Biden's IRA negotiated drug price reductions for Medicare/Medicaid patients.

This is surprising drivel, even for you. Go back to representing the conservative wing of the GOP or find a skinny wife with a big mouth to support you. Blaming Merrick Garland for not putting Trump behind bars is a fools' errand, chosen by idiots with no experience in complex criminal litigation.

Why would Garland have been privy to private conversations btw/ Cassidy and inner circle? Finding it very tiresome to read pundits shilling their latest book by dismissing esteemed career prosecutor and leader that Garland will always be to people fighting actual crime and not chasing ratings.

How could AG Garland have known what Cassidy would outline in her testimony before she testified? She detailed facts known only to her, Meadows and a few participants. Garland's history as a skilled leader in drug trafficking, mass murder, complex conspiracy and public corruption cases is solid.
