Moreover, critics have already slammed the upcoming tax plan before its release. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin alleged that the plan would increase the country’s national debt and add to the deficit. Other reports indicated that carbon tax could serve as an offshoot of the tax plan. Democrats favor this idea, while Republicans oppose the notion. So far, there are no answers as to whether or not the tax plan will be “revenue neutral.” The President recently announced that the plan’s rate will range between 15% and 20%, but other reports have cited 28%.
The gridlock and discord in Washington should serve as alarming to each and every American. A government shutdown is a mark of failure and the Friday deadline does not give Washington officials much time to get it together. The confusion associated with tax reform is a very negative indicator, given the catastrophe that ensued from health care reform. Regardless of party affiliations, leaders in Washington need to put egos aside and work together for what is in the best interests of the American people who voted them into office. Hopefully, the Vice President’s early return will engender a positive effect on the success of the spending bill and tax reform.
Carbon tax Gary will push for it. That is Team Kushner.

In view of the dramatic differences in outlook and desires between conservatives and Democrats, I would find nothing more alarming than a Nancy Pelosi, for example, praising some piece of bilateral legislation. It would mean that the Republicans (as opposed to conservatives) had capitulated on something designed to bring American citizens further into the 1984 police state.
Seems like I remember Ryan promising no more omnibus bills.
Stated that departmental budget bills would return to be voted on individually.
Guess there just wasn’t time (sarc)
