Well, what would have you expected from the Media Party? I bet many of them were sad the day the Soviet Union officially ended.

I confess this is a rare instance that I won’t read past the first paragraph in an article. You could tell from the line-up released before the show that it was obviously intended to bad talk the proposed bill.

Paul Krugman: that’s all you need to know about today’s show.

They are insane over this. They hate anything that promotes growth. May they regret their words.

Every tax cut is an end of the universe nightmare to a Leftist.

What really irritates me, are the people who should know better, but continue to talk about how to pay for these tax cuts.

They know what a boost this will give Trump especially when most people realize they really are getting a tax cut. They are going to use anything and everything to stop this. It’s going to be a rough couple of days.

What they mean is their idiotic logic to cut taxes you have to raise them.

I’m enjoying the online tax calculators ... they all show just about everyone with a tax cut.

“.....one of his first questions involved allegations GOP leaders bought off Tennessee Senator Bob Corker with a real estate provision:............”

Stephy is of course a far left Democrat. One of the major, and most commonly used out of their bag of dirty tricks is projection. “Buying off” is a Democrat trick used so often within their ranks it’s like the air they breathe to them, therefore it’s one of the first things they project, or accuse their opposition of. It’s something they would do, so therefore their opposition does it whether they do, or not.

I look forward to the sex harassment case that will take little Georgie off the air.

This will make the economy grow at 4+ percent. Midterms will be fine for Republicans bs and Trump will be re-elected.

That’s why they hate this bill. That’s why they’re going to the mat over it. Hopefully it will pass without Cochran (McCain won’t be able to vote no ;). My selfish and spiteful self wants McCain to be alive when it passes.

I do pray for his family.

“Meanwhile, the Democrats are also warning this is going to trigger a mandatory cut in many government programs, including a $25 billion cut in Medicare,”

Scaring senior citizens (whom they actually don't care a whit for) by lying to them. The Dems know no depths to their perpetual and obligate duplicity.

Exactly!

Well, if we're cutting them on the middle class, we'll need to raise them on the rich (Leftist fall-back boogie man0. Result: Net neutral in money freed up for the economy. A vapor trail instead of tangible freed up funds for the economy.

Anyone else ever notice that Stephy contributes absolutely nothing to GMA during the week?

Once this goes into effect, are any of the libtards who are screaming about this “tax cut for the rich” going to forego the money they will save and give it back to the government?

I’m guessing not a single one of those hypocrites will do it.

Get back to me when the tax “reform” either (a) lowers taxes for everyone, or (b) installs a flat tax. Until then, it’s all a shell game.

Since it raises taxes for millions of people, and gives credits to illegals, you’d think the media would be praising it. Instead, like me, they’re not supportive. Imagine that

I agree with your take on it

I support it because the bad things don’t change. Much of the bill is better. The bad stuff is already in there now. They may have tinkered to make it worse though.

It’s Trump, so that’s the only reasoning they need to think it’s bad.

I see it as a tiny step in the right direction, but better than nothing.

Hopefully we can get more, later. But Trump needs a win, any win right now.
