I wonder how many businesses contributed money to Democrats.

Funny thing is I bet they don't have buyers remorse.

“The problem is how to pay for the new spending.”

It's REALLY not a problem; Congress just MAKES it a problem!

SLASH the fat in spending, and cut off ALL AID to countries that hate America.

Hire PRISONERS to do some of the work. Easy-Peasy.

I am struggling to care. Elections have consequences. These corporate elites did nothing for the GOP in the midterms, and many of them would rather have open borders than anything else, so they’ll now have to deal with the policy consequences of voting in the dimms

I agree 100% that our infrastructure SUCKS...and s becoming dangerous and life-threatening.

However, hiking taxes is NOT the way to fix the problem. But, then, I’ve been bitchin’ about unconstitutional taxes since, oh, about 1912, LOL!

“Since we’re borrowing, what, a trillion and a half dollars to pay for the tax cuts, it doesn’t sound like real money, and it doesn’t sound sustainable,” he (democrat) said.”

Stupid is as democrat say.

Well the problem is that no one wants cuts to their little pet budgets.

#1 - Tax increase legislation, as I understand it, must originate in the House. But it must also pass the Senate. Which I doubt any tax increase legislation would.

#2. - If the Senate were to loose their collective minds and pass the legislation on to President Trump, I think it’s highly unlikely President Trump would sign any law that would undo any of his recent accomplishments.

Exactly. But we could cut off all foreign aid to our enemies. Can’t a President just DO that? I mean, 0bama took the opposite tac and GAVE pallets of CASH to Iran with NO congressional approval!

What’s the difference? (Yes, I know...)

Do people here want to BITCH so much that they conveniently forget how congress works?

Trump should say NO to EVERYTHING the Dems want until he gets THE WALL FUNDED! NO NO NO NO NO until they get the gist of what this country needs the most.

DOA in the Senate. If it doesn’t die there, it faces a presidential veto.

Democrats can pass all the tax hikes they want. They are going nowhere.
