Those tax cuts never helped millennials such as me who graduated in the middle of the Great Recession during the most competitive job market. Your PwC guest is right, not enough investments were made to us during that time.

      No generation was banned from receiving a tax cut. When the tax cut was signed, the vast majority of millennials weren’t even of working age. The tax cuts were for all income levels. Even Kerry and Obama were forced to admit so during their campaigns and said “I want to keep the Bush tax cuts for the bottom 98% and make those permanent and take them away from the top 2%.” after Gore lied on 2000 and claimed they were only for the top 1%. And Biden was forced to make the same admission in 2020 after Hillary lied about the Trump tax cuts in 2016 and after Biden himself lied about them after they were signed. By 2020, it was proven to 84%+ Americans that Biden and the Democrats lied. Again. And we shouldn’t punish those who did everything right to fund people who can’t accomplish one of the most basic financial tasks of all: balance a budget. We need a president to refuse to sign the budget and shutdown the government until the budget is balanced and therefore make sure their salary isn’t paid. Watch how quickly the budget gets balanced. Also, that 16 years ago. If someone hasn’t accomplished anything 16 years into their career, they’re obviously not good at their job. It’s not a government problem. We’ve recovered about 7 fold since then. If it was a government problem, everyone would have $0. But that’s not the case. I know plenty of millennials that are thriving. If you have two completely different outcomes, that says it’s due to a difference in the individual and not a government problem.

      @@TempoPrimo2023 The national debt has gone up under Obama, Trump, and Biden. Biden’s proposed tax plan still leaves a large deficit. That means spending is the primary issue. Unless the national debt goes down, the problem won’t go away. Unless you plan on inflating away the value of the US dollar.

    People who think like Kitty Richards is one of the major reasons we have such an out of control national debt. The interest alone will force budget cuts to programs that she is advocating for. China, Japan and other foreign countries have stopped buying US securities that fund our national debt. If Richards is advocating printing money then that will cause inflation which will hurt poor people.

    What would you think of a financial advisor who keeps all your money invested in US Treasuries, and vastly underperforms a 60:40 portfolio? That’s what the government does with the money you contribute to Social Security. If that money were handled in proper fiduciary manner, Social Security would have no problems with payments. Your contributions are being used as a slush fund for other Congressional priorities, and then they tell us that our promised benefits are “entitlements”. I am “entitled” to my contributions being handled in a fiduciary manner, not as a slush fund.
