Sure. And watch the deficit explode.
Pass a budget like Trump submitted with massive spending cuts to make tax reduction palatable.

It’s more important to screw Americans so illegals can keep their benefits.

How do you define a “real tax cut”?

Seems that this bill (actually, the Senate and the Home bills both) reduces the tax rate for the vast majority of taxpayers, and while it eliminates a few popular deductions, it increases the standard deduction and child/dependent credits - so essentially reducing the taxable net income for the majority of taxpayers as well - together they theoretically reduce the tax bill for most.

Is that not a tax cut?

Or is your definition of real tax cut - just simply a direct, no chair-swapping, cut to the rates alone?
