You just knew this was coming… Republican leader Mitch McConnell warned today he will not pass Donald Trump’s tax cuts.

Senate Majority Leader McConnell has a different plan. Bloomberg.com reported:

President-elect Donald Trump’s race to enact the biggest tax cuts since the 1980s went under a caution flag Monday as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell warned he considers current levels of U.S. debt “dangerous” and said he wants any tax overhaul to avoid adding to the deficit.

“I think this level of national debt is dangerous and unacceptable,” McConnell said, adding he hopes Congress doesn’t lose sight of that when it acts next year. “My preference on tax reform is that it be revenue neutral,” he said.

Get rid of Mitch McConnell!!

[Paladin2]

The Post Turtle is SOOO concerned about things he has let run to ruin over the last 30 years. Whatta joke he is.

[ari-freedom]

I’ll go with Trump’s economic understanding over a bunch of Senators who never created a single private sector job

[Dr. Sivana]

Where were you for the last eight years, Mitch?

[goldstategop]

Republicans don’t want to jump start the economy??

It would do more to reduce the deficit than government spending.

And it is revenue-neutral. What happened to Republican being tax-cutters?

[deweyfrank]

Primary all of them.

[DoughtyOne]

Can anyone remind me one thing McConnell objected to, in the way of Obama’s excessive spending?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

What did you do to rein in the Obama spending colossus, Mitch ?

[McGruff]

Welcome to the Swamp President Elect Trump.

[Vince Ferrer]

So cut something.

[DoughtyOne]

The same thing that happened to Republicans being Republicans.

[DarthVader]

He will bring this to the people and they will take it out on recalcitrant Pubbies.

[lurk]

Closing the EPA and Education would save a few dollars.

[TexasGator]

Paul Ryan says they are almost to revenue neutral with tax plan.

Easier to get through senate is reveNuevo neutral.

[goldstategop]

The same McConman so concerned about the deficit never reduced government spending the first two years he was Majority Leader.

Now he talks.

[Parley Baer]

“Can anyone remind me one thing McConnell objected to, in the way of Obama’s excessive spending?”

Precisely. He never even tried to rein in Obama’s runaway spending.

[JudyinCanada]

I’d be rethinking Mrs. Turtle’s appointment.

[DoughtyOne]

Exactly right!
