Lenin had the “Who, Whom” question. In this case the Who is the GOPe corporate donors and the Whom is the rest of us. No tax bill is better than this.

Getting a little tired of POTUS leading from behind here on issue after issue relating to Congress. He seems unwilling to launch total war on the swamp just yet.

Those SOBs don’t ever think that they could decrease SPENDING by $350 Billion in a pinch. Corker, Lankford and Dane (and probably McCain) should be horsewhipped for this stupid suggestion. Businesses and individual taxpayers want to plan ahead and not be subjected to this open-ended credit card requested by these idiots. No one should trust this government with their money.

They are trying to sabotage. Isn’t that clear to everyone yet? Why don’t they have automatic spending cuts of the Muller investigation or any one of a hundred “agencies”

In a true and just world, the treasonous P.O.S. McCain would already be burning in Hell.

Note the use of “said-to-allow”. Not will allow, not shall allow. Just another weasel-term.

Thank you for posting lodi90.

"Getting a little tired of POTUS leading from behind here on issue after issue relating to Congress. He seems unwilling to launch total war on the swamp just yet."

Noting that I gladly voted for Pres. Trump and do not regret doing so, please consider the following.

What Pres. Trump, and probably many patriots, evidently didn’t understand when Trump was campaigning is that the Oval Office is constitutionally “married” to Congress. So it’s no surprise that probably many patriots are bummed out with the “slow” progress that Trump is making as he struggles to step around in “thick swamp mud" as a consequence of a very corrupt, Trump-hating Congress left over form the lawless Obama Administration.

In other words, it’s solely up to us patriots to finish the job that we started by electing Trump president in 2016 by doing the following.

Patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of state sovereignty-respecting, Trump-supporting patriot candidates on the 2018 primary ballots, and pink-slip career lawmakers by sending patriot candidate lawmakers to D.C. on election day.

The Trump Administration that patriots envisioned in 2016 will hopefully go into full gear in 2019, Trump’s first two years in office arguably for practice.

Regarding taxes, a 1040EZ that is compliant with Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, that all taxpayers can use, is a step in the right direction.

But the ultimate revision of tax code includes repealing the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments imo.

Somehow they never think to cut spending.

Since I’m a firm believer that that tax bill will hugely stimulate economic growth (and hence tax receipts from that growth) I have no problem with this new “trigger” provision if that is what it takes to ensure passage.

Congress does not want to lower taxes for hardworking individuals, so for every piece of legislation that does lower taxes for hardworking individuals, Congress institutes a mechanism to take it back.

After all, in the ideology of crony corporatism, people are just drones to keep the machinery of global companies going.

Please track the path of economic growth that you believe will occur.

Could you imagine telling your kids ...”Hey, if you spend too much, I’m going to have to give you more money”. Not really a huge incentive to not spend.

I wish they were trying to sabotage this garbage tax increase on the middle class bill. They are not. This “backstop trigger” is a baked in tax increase on top of the tax increase we get after they rape almost every deduction in the Tax Code we currently have.

The economy enters recession, revenues slow so we raise taxes. Brilliant.
