Noone has answered this yet for me and since you guys are talking about this why did my friend tell me (he's a Democrat, I am not) that after 5 years that middle class taxes will go up? Is that true or false? I really would like to know the real answer. My friend is biased against Trump and anything pro Trump. 

I was listing to Michael Savage the other day and he was reading a report of "randomly"  picking 7 couples around the US.

 

All the families saved.

 

Even 1 couple from CA were married, no children combine $75 and their tax were less.

 

Hope for the best.

According to the new tax law, the tax break for individuals ends in 5 years. They call this a sunset... For corporations, there is no end. So Rmc's friend is correct. This law was passed by both the house and the senate. Trump didn't write it, he just signed it into law...

Correct you are.  More explicitly, the bill was drawn up in secret by the Senate and House  Republicans.  The vote was on straight party lines, 51 - 48 and 227 - 203 respectively.  At no time were any Democrats allowed to participate in drawing up this bill. Nothing illegal whatsoever.  But certainly less than optimal.

US development assistance to Iraq will be limited to ethnic and religious minorities

Jan 09, 2018 

 

Mike Bens, US Vice President

Washington - "Al Quds Al Arabi" - from Raed Salha

 

It reached US President Donald Trump 's management agreement with the Agency for International Development of the United Nations to provide more funding for ethnic and religious minorities in Iraq , where it will be allocated 55 million Dolarmen total aid to the program of the United Nations Development Financing Facility in order to achieve stability in addressing minority issues in the areas of Northern Iraq.

 

The deal came more than two months after US Vice President Mike Pence announced that the United States would stop funding "ineffective" UN relief programs in Iraq and provide more direct aid through the US Agency for International Development and religious groups.

 

The United States pledged $ 150 million to the Iraqi stabilization fund last July. USAID officials said the funds would be split into two tranches worth $ 75 million, with the second tranche of funding contingent on UNDP improving accountability. And transparency in the Stabilization Fund.

 

The agency said it was moving ahead with mechanisms to allow the agency to request proposals from outside groups on how to facilitate the return of ethnic and religious minorities to their homes in Iraq. In a speech at the annual solidarity dinner for Christians in the Middle East, Bens said UN organizations failed to help minorities Especially religious Christians in Iraq. Christians in the Middle East and all those persecuted in the region should not rely on multinational institutions if America could directly help them, he said.

Proposals to accelerate the pace of reconstruction

Essam Mahaoueli

The time is now for planning and implementation only; because the current stage requires strong entry into the arena and the direction to the reconstruction of Iraq after the eradication of cancer of terrorism.

It is necessary not to allow any voice to transcend the voice of reconstruction, because it comes from the lessons of the experiences of nations that preceded us and emerged from the wars victorious or broken, as immediately after the sounds of guns and bullets to run the workforce in the country in the various and diverse reconstruction and diverse. 
It will create thousands of job opportunities and produce incomes that will finance the social life of the workers. The same forces, after their operation and gaining their strength, will be agents of terrorism that will inevitably try to block the investment of the glorious Iraqi victory.
The benefits of employment are axiomatic, but they are also a makamulat because Iraq is full of young people who yearn to work in all fields. They are the same young people who are paid by unemployment and paid by the hardships of living, which is a dangerous branch of terrorism directed at Iraq. The country is emptied of its youth and thrown abroad. Represents a strategic goal for all its enemies. 
What is the road to reconstruction in the presence of devastated cities, broken infrastructure, and a hesitant private sector that does not have the strategic visions to advance the country's economy, and the enormous government capacity that can engage the private sector with it? 
But the question is who will lead government and private partnerships to reach targets and reconstruction? Then foreign companies must be involved with large-scale assets and most likely that these companies stand in the waiting for work.
There are some points that are expected to form a road map in reconstruction, including the formation of the Reconstruction Council headed by the Prime Minister and enjoys absolute independence, which avoids the non-targeted magazines, because it is necessary that the Council be directly responsible for giving contracts to companies that will work in Iraq He oversees the achievements. Another important point is the elimination of red tape and the adoption of a one-stop-shop system to effectively facilitate the task of investors and reduce disruption of business and delay achievements.
It is necessary to form a specialized committee to present the work required to be performed in some countries such as Turkey, England, France, Egypt, Switzerland and Sweden for the purpose of agreement and conclusion of contracts later; requiring them to employ Iraqi cadres of skilled and unskilled workers in large numbers with workers coming from these countries or others , To extract most of the building materials from Iraqi land and from local factories with the purpose of moving and operating these plants and activate the cycle of local capital.
It is also necessary to facilitate the introduction of labor machines and the provision of easy customs mechanisms that are not hindered to enter or expel after the end of the work thereof, and to provide banking means to ensure the companies to transfer their profits derived from work based on documents and without bureaucratic obstacles; providing security protection for companies while minimizing the entry of companies Foreign protections, in addition to finding mechanisms for the payment of dues of companies according to the percentage of achievements without delay after verification of the reality of the situation based on documents and receipt reports. 
It is necessary to recall once again the need to move immediately towards reconstruction before it is too late and so that the dreaded terrorism does not give an opportunity to breathe and to gather together its evil forces.

I do think this is a very accurate and timely statement!

 

I also think time is of the essence and weighs heavily in our favor for the very, very near term. Immediate and large volume reconstruction is needed especially with the elections coming up in less than three months so the reconstruction momentum needs to be sufficient in all applicable sectors to ensure the most stable and least corrupt GOI will be installed via the Iraqi people!

 

Just my opinion, thoughts, and :twocents:

Treasures Media - reported The Atlantic magazine , " The the Atlantic , " the US report spoke of which for the reconstruction of Iraq, saying, that the country 's imports of oil, they should be "more than enough", to rebuild several times since 2003 , and so far.

Iraq's oil imports in just two years have been studied, ranging from $ 50 billion to $ 100 billion, in the weakest case of oil prices, the magazine said, which the magazine described as sufficient to rebuild the country, which the Iraqi authorities declared needed for only $ 88 billion. .

The report suggested that the imbalance may be the source of US foreign policy, which was declared before the war, when Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz said that Iraq was "a country that would finance reconstruction itself and in a short time" Which indicated that it may be ill-considered, and did not take into account the Iraqi situation that followed the invasion in 2003.

Ninewa / Al-Ghad Press: 
As Mosul gradually returns to its pre-invasion period, a World Bank team visited the city to discover a series of reconstruction projects and the works it is working on.
During the meeting of the World Bank Group Vice President for the Middle East and North Africa with the governor of Nineveh, it was revealed that several important projects were financed by the World Bank, in addition to other projects that affect the re-establishment of social relations in multi-ethnic and sectarian areas. 
During his visit to Mosul, Hafiz Ghanem told Al-Ghad Press that "three bridges have been implemented through the ministries concerned with Iraqi hands, but the World Bank is financing them." 
Among the bridges reconstructed by the World Bank are three, the old bridge and the fourth and the bridge Muthanna out of 14 bridges in Nineveh. 
"The World Bank is also seeking to settle disputes in Sinjar, Tal Afar and eastern Mosul, which are mixed areas for the purpose of restoring social ties among its Arab, Kurdish, Shabak, Turkmen and Christian populations," Governor Nawfal al-Aakoub told Al-Ghad Press.
"The governor asked the bank to finance development contracts for the purpose of winning the largest number of workers in Nineveh." 
The World Bank has increased funding for projects in Iraq's war-torn provinces by $ 400 million to $ 750 million worth of projects. 
The World Bank's talk about these projects opened up many files that activists in Mosul have referred to, including questions about the Iraqi government's work and its reconstruction funds. 
"The government says it has allocated a special budget to Nineveh, as well as the local government, which says it has received the development funds of the provinces and others, and claimed the completion of bridges and buildings. Senior officials came and opened them before they found that they were financed by the World Bank," Idan Abdullah, .
"If the World Bank funds foreign projects and organizations, the aid goes to the people, and many people depend on lifting the rubble on themselves," Abdullah said.
