Senate Democrat Tax Plans Are More Populist Slop and Ignore National Debt
16th March 2026
The Hill, a Voice of the Crust.
(When have Democrats ever given a shit about the National Debt?)
House and Senate Democrats have introduced bills promising to eliminate income taxes for broad swaths of Americans. Generally, these plans accompany proposals to soak the rich, provide guaranteed cash payments and expanded tax credits, and somehow end up deficit neutral.
Buy those votes! Buy those votes!
Although the goal of increased progressivity and fairness is noble, these plans concede too much ground to the slop-populism of the Trump administration and fail to confront fiscal reality. Instead, policymakers should focus on raising revenue and stop pretending the national debt is not already ballooning out of control.
Damn, this boy sounds like a Republican. No wonder Democrats are ignoring him.
