Replacing Johnson means getting a Democrat in his district.

Throw his cheesehead ass out of the party. Who needs him.


You could move to his district and fall in love with the shoo-in Democrat that would replace him.

If true and it’s a 1.3% reduction it should be killed. A minimum reduction should be 10%. 40% could easily be done.

It depends who did the scoring to make it a 1.3% reduction. The CBO only uses static scoring, not dynamic scoring. That’s why every past tax cut was scored as a deficit increase, yet ALWAYS brought in more revenue.

The crackdown on fraud and reduced regulation alone will get you to 30%.

If (and that’s a big IF) his math is right, I must grudgingly accept his “no”.

This is like getting a new credit card to pay off the old credit card. Trumps budget eliminates the new credit card. We have to start paying off the debt.

Pay off your 28.99% card with a 15.99% card. Pay that one off with a 12.99% card. Pay that off with a 7.99% home equity loan. Pay the HEL off as part of a refi at 4%. Downsize and pay everything off.

This is what Trump wanted to help the people and the fat cats keep what benefits them and screws the little guy. As usual.

The GOP always destroys the people who vote for their stupid party.

Te Republicans fear for the health of the Deep State. These guys are old enough to understand that tax cuts pay for themselves in the increased production that they occasion. Always have. Why would this one be different?? And why is this heretofore big spender worried about the deficit now, anyway?

If by chance there are cuts to medicare and/or social security I am against it.

That being said we need to work more on reducing our debt.

There still is a lot of democratic grift dug into our government that needs to be ended.
