I don’t disagree with you at all.

“Senate WILL find a way to make sure this doesn’t pass.”

Let’s hope it does not.

It’s a full-on piece of sh!t.

They refuse to cut spending.


Yup.

This bill isn’t going to be passed, anyway.
Might as well swing for the fences and maybe
lock in a few votes for the next primary.

Ah, but who are we kidding? Trump served them
up a pork busting budget and they shrugged it
off like an overcoat with Armor All.

H.L. Mencken got it right. If voting had any effect
they wouldn’t let us do it.

It is no wonder that the US has problems.

The Democrats and Republicans are just two cheeks on the same a$$.

They should also do something about student loans and take it away as an issue next year...

Trump is not done with them.

When he returns to US, hell’s coming with him.

I would not want to be a Republican in Congress when he lets loose.

This isn’t a tax cut - it’s a deduction cut. The problem with reducing and cutting reductions is that people will get used to it and, then, the politicians will raise the tax rates again.

“then, the politicians will raise the tax rates again”

The House has already adjusted their CPI formulas so that more people will come under the higher rates sooner as inflation occurs. Much sooner.

This is beginning to sound more and more like a break-even at best for the middle class TAXPAYERS. Seems all the breaks are for the breeders. I don’t want tax reductions for others where I don’t get any breaks. Republicans are just as useless as democrats.

That would take balls and a spine.

They’ve got neither.

All the RINO dumbasses in congress had to do was fund and build a beautiful wall on the southern border. We’d have forgiven or tolerated their infighting in other areas. For less than $20B spread over 4 years they could have bought themselves political cover. They truly are stupid as sh**.

12 for FICA income, 25 for other income above that, 15 percent corporate and pass-through, eliminate nearly all deductions and creidt, 12% on all capital gains and dividends, including real estate. But of course, that might call for actual reductions in spending, and we wouldn’t want that, right? /sarc

And take taxes out of welfare checks. Obama phones and all welfare should be taxed as income. 3-5%!is better than nothing. If they don’t like it, get off welfare.

I didn’t vote for Trump to pay more. I would much rather see those on welfare getting less.

Social Security is taxed as income, why not welfare?
