Tax bills are supposed to originate in the House, are they not?

If spending goes up 5% per year, and government revenue goes up 25% per year, it doesn’t take long until you are operating in the Black.

I do think we need to address Welfare and other government expenditures. Trump is on to that too. He’ll push for it. He has been mentioning it again recently.

We’re headed in the right direction.

If my Income goes up 0% a year and my taxes go down 25%, I’m in fat city in a few years.

They don’t want to cut anything. Rand doesn’t know how to play the game although on principal he’s good. Give huge tax cuts, if enough revenue doesn’t come in THEN push for cuts while the Dems argue that taxes need to be raised. Rand’s position is always status quo in practice

Well that’s two of us that have been listening to the real text of the bill. It’s spenderiffic. It claims to cut taxes for small biz, a win.. increase the amount of people paying no tax via the higher deductible. Let me rephrase that.. using the increased deduction to get paid instead of paying taxes.
Who’s left with no decrease in tax.. looks like the middle class. What a surprise.
