The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

The U.S. Ag sector is being utterly wrecked by self initiated trade wars. I have no idea whether this affects voting behavior or party identity or whatever. But I do know that this will change the face of Ag ownership and further reduce the rural population.

Don't just think about the price. Consider how much you'll love wearing the garment, which will be about finding a manufacturer that produces things to your taste. A $100 hoodie worn for a decade is cheaper than a $40 hoodie you replace in a year. As usual, the key is to buy less, buy better.
