• Finally achieving his long coveted goal of creating an #authoritarian #MilitaryState in which no one is allowed to criticize him or even say they don’t like him.

Trump’s promise to end taxes on tips sounds great, but the bill only covers reported cash tips, excludes some jobs, and still requires Social Security taxes to be paid.
Plus, the break may expire in a few years.
The fine print isn’t as generous as it seems, writes an economist:

Opposition to #Trump's tax-cut & spending bill from hardline conservative #Republicans in the US #Senate & billionaire #ElonMusk adds another layer of #uncertainty for businesses.
Employers' reluctance to lay off #workers potentially keeps the US central bank [#FederalReserve] on the sidelines until the end of the year. Financial #markets expect the Fed will leave its benchmark overnight interest rate unchanged in the 4.25%-4.50% range this month, before resuming policy easing in Sept.
#economy
The #economy needs to create roughly 100,000 jobs per month to keep up with growth in the working age population. That number could decline as #Trump has revoked the temporary legal status of hundreds of thousands of migrants amid an #immigration crackdown.
Much of the job growth this year reflects worker hoarding by businesses amid Trump's flip-flopping on #tariffs, which economists say has hampered companies' ability to plan ahead.
#US #job growth slows in May; #unemployment steady at 4.2%
#JobGrowth slowed in May amid #Trump #tariff uncertainty, while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.2%, potentially giving the #FederalReserve cover to delay resuming interest rate cuts for a while.
Nonfarm payrolls increased by 139k jobs last month after rising by a downwardly revised 147k in April, the #Labor Dept's Bureau of Labor Statistics [#BLS] said in its closely watched employment report Fri.

In the #House version of the bill, #Republicans also turned to some well-worn gimmicks in a bid to lower the sticker price of the #legislation. Several of the bill’s tax cut provisions, including #Trump’s campaign pledges to not tax #tips & #overtime pay, would last for only a few years. Those cuts could become far more costly if they were continued.
#NationalDebt #CBO #PublicDisservice #USpol #law #economy #government #SocialServices #education #Medicaid #healthcare #FoodAssistance
The #CBO analysis focused on the version of the bill that passed the #House late last month, but the cost estimate could change as #Republicans in the #Senate begin to put their imprint on the legislation. #GOP lawmakers there want to deepen some of the bill’s tax cuts, while others are pressing to pare back some its #cuts to #Medicaid, the government #healthcare program for the #poor, & #CleanEnergy tax incentives.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office [#CBO] said Wednesday that the broad Republican bill to cut taxes for corporations & the wealthy & slash federal programs would add $2.4 trillion to the already soaring #NationalDebt over the next decade, in an analysis that was all but certain to inflame concerns that #Trump’s domestic agenda would lead to excessive government borrowing.
