Just wait until March and April, when the results start rolling in.

They will disappear...never to be heard from again.

[gubamyster]

Looting. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

UPDATE: COMCAST SAYS MAKE THAT FOUR – more companies announce they are investing in employees because of GOP tax cut!

Next we’re going to argue about spending. Let’s see if the Dems demand no increase to the deficit now.

According to a Business Insider, bonus checks and raises are in the works right now for the actual workers at a number of large corporations.

Looking forward to the low comedy that is sure to follow as dems insist hat lower taxes, raises, and bonuses are bad, bad things forced on workers by evil President Trump.

Republicans want to cash out? Take the money and run?

What does that even mean?

Democrats have become adept at saying nothing. Nothing at all. They are zeros and they are sad that they are irrelevant so they just babble now. Lashing out with incoherent inanities hoping maybe something might stick. They are gonna look mighty stupid when America is great again.

Won't somebody put them out of my misery?

Yes, they’re looting America to the point of gifting it a potential doubling of the current Federal Tax receipts, each year.

All this at a cost of about 25 to 33% of a year’s federal tax receipts, and far less over years 2-5.

The mind of a Democrat is a terrible thing to waste.

So much butthurt in so little time.
A joy to behold.

The ink on the bill isn’t even dry yet and literally billion$ are already coming back to the US and to thousands of regular working Americans. No joke. So of course the leftscum are upset. Again, but sadly, no joke.

Just wait until March and Aprilof 2019, when the results start rolling in.....as folks file their tax returns and discover how much they owe "thanks" to:

° Limited deduction for state and local taxes--$0K for income and property combined,

° Loss of extra (doubled) personal exemption for being over 65

° A measly $500 tax credit for dependents other than children under the age of 16 (you'd have to pay a 50% tax rate in order to attain the same reduction as a personal exemption under the old system--and NOBODY has ever paid that rate!)

Of course by then the mid-term elections will have become a distant memory and the 2020's will be too far away.

Nice Christmas coal, GOP!

Nope, just returning money to the tax payers not the rats, their voters and their illegals in NY and NJ and the elites with expensive estates and high NY/NJ property and income taxes.

Watch people flee run from NY and NJ, now that their high taxes are not longer paid by red state Americans via those deductions on the returns from Blue State thugs in NY/NJ!

Yes, for Progressives, lies are truth, up is down, backward is forward!

"Nothing is so mistaken as the supposition, that a person is to extricate himself from a difficulty, by intrigue, by chicanery, by dissimulation, by trimming, by an untruth, by an injustice. This increases the difficulties ten fold; and those who pursue these methods, get themselves so involved at length, that they can turn no way but their infamy becomes more exposed. It is of great importance to set a resolution, not to be shaken, never to tell an untruth. There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible; and he who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world’s believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good dispositions." - See "Letter to Peter Carr, August 19, 1785," in Thomas Jefferson: Writings (New York: The Library of America, 1984), pp. 814-815.

". . . he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him." - Jefferson

The insane mind of a Democrat is a terrible great thing to waste.

[MtnClimber]

Aren’t the big spending liberal politicians looking the USA?

[BatGuano]

When have these “liberal pundits” ever been right?
Who are these people?
Why do we even read their crap?
What do they propose, other than more welfare and immigrants, that is better than this bill?

The bill may not be perfect but it is far better than “Obamacare,” which is the worst joke ever played on we the people. Dumping the “Mandate” virtually ends that partisan law. Medicaid will now be phased out, I hope!
Put Americans to work and end welfare, thereby ending the pitiful poor.

“Republicans Are ‘Looting’ America”......

Demodummies have been raping this country for years and suddenly they “get religion” by accusing repubs? What a joke they are. Stop importing all those illegal voters and maybe we can have a concerned discussion, until then, LIVE WITH IT.

[Spok]

After Obama running up record deficits and enriching everyone from Solyndra to Iran, it takes a lot of dam nerve to criticize Trump trying to return it to the folks it was taken from.

...Is Matthew Yglesias’ reputation for saying really, really, really stupid things based on anything other than reality? Look, we all get things wrong from time to time. Everybody makes mistakes. Yglesias, though, is a cut above the rest. His talent for being wrong on every topic under the sun is remarkable — almost as remarkable as his refusal to do anything whatsoever to prevent the cycle from continuing.

I really do want to know if he tires of being embarrassingly wrong about everything, but I think I already know the answer: being a wrong liberal means never having to say you’re sorry, and having no shame means you never have to feel embarrassed.
