Every year, our Federal Government spends about $3.8 trillion dollars. That’s about equal to the total GDP of Germany. Triple the size of the GDP of Russia, Brazil, and many others. It’s staggering how much our Federal Government taxes, borrows, and spends.

Yet, with GOP control of Congress there isn’t even a whisper of spending restraint. Zero, zip, nada.

What to we get? Deduction Reform being peddled as Tax Reform. Time-barred rate reductions, backstops that raise taxes if certain factors change. It’s truly pathetic.

Spit.

Twenty years ago it was spending half that.

People need to know the facts and understand that Goldman Sachs too big to fail banksters (Cohn and Mnuchin)are the ones writing this depraved bill.

Give the corporations the 15% tax cut to stimulate business and the economy, but NOWAY IN HELL should they be engineering a PERMANENT RIP OFF of the MIDDLE CLASS to finance their schemes!!!.

They’re not even talking about passing EVerify. That would raise wages of US citizens, increase consumer spending, and enlarge the tax base.
