“I fear this will become a political problem.”

Especially when it’s true.

There are 34 Republicans in NJ, NY, CA and Il.

All of their seats are now in play...at least.

The entire GOP delegation from CA is likely to be removed. That’s 14 right there.

And I’m going to help make it happen.

So you're going to support 14 looney, left-wing Kalifornia Democrats to make that happen?

Oh, you mean on the tax vote. Never mind.

Note my post 47 re the Senate, much worse than that. Which is why I doubt this will pass. Which makes me wonder how they could not have considered that. The uncomfortable fact may be that to pass credible tax reform/simplification you may simply have to abandon fiscal balance, and hope that 3%-4% growth rates will close the deficits. Perhaps the balance being made up with higher inflation rates.

Or reduce spending which is the long term problem no one wants to address.
