What are they going to say if the economy takes off and people get more of their money back via tax cuts? Are they still going to be able to fight REALITY with lies?

[vladimir998]

How stupid are these people? Or worse, how stupid do these people think we are???

[frnewsjunkie]

They are a sad sack of idiots who can’t see anything but their hatred for this man, President Trump!

[Billthedrill]

Ah, when they said “experts” the name Krugman didn’t come to mind at first. Don’t they have to be right about something before we get to call them “experts” or is a Crackerjack box Nobel Prize good enough?

[Bernard Marx]

They could be right. The full effect of the cuts may not kick in before the elections. And you can count on the Enemedia to whip up every conceivable negative nightmare concerning the cuts for the next 11 months. It’ll be non-stop “Trickle Down” propaganda on steroids.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

The New York Times still doesn't get it.

President Trump championed the tax cut to help the American people. It has nothing to do with the Republican party.

President Trump wasn't "betting" or "scheming" to advance the Republican Party or its agenda (whatever that is …). President Trump's only goal is to Make America Great Again.

If they were experts they wouldn’t be pontificators, they’d be wealthy.

HOW MANY TIMES CAN ONE INDIVIDUAL HUMAN BE PROVEN WRONG IN ONE LIFETIME?!?!?!

[dp0622]

BTW, does he have a nobel prize too like obama.

Sounds like a candidate.

[dhs12345]

They’ll give Obama credit.

[adorno]

...even though we all recall what happened in 2010 during Obama’s second year in the White House

I would caution republicans to be careful about gloating about that 2010 success that got the republicans the majority.

That victory came as a result of the "sacrifice" that democrats were willing to make to get their longest running wet dream passed. Universal health care was something that they were willing to give their souls in order to get it into law. So, though they knew that ACA was very unpopular, they decided that it was still worth sacrificing their majority in order to get it done. And that's how republicans were "able" to win the majority in congress. Democrats were willing to "cross that bridge" when they got to it. That bridge was not passable, but they still got one of their biggest programs and wet-dreams into law.

Republicans don't have the same scenario with the tax cuts, but democrats are going to try to try to turn it into the same kind of earth-shaking/apocalyptic event that took them out of control of congress. With success, which can't fail, tax cuts can take democrats further into the depths of losers-ville.

IN any case, it's worth noting that democrats are still very bitter about 2010, and again, 2016, and will do whatever it takes to with congress and the presidency back. It's why the phony Trump/Russia dossier was fabricated by the DNC andn Hillary and the Obama administration, with the help of the fusionGPS spy-gang.

They should add a Voluntary Contribution Line to the 1040 Form like they did in MA.

Both John Kerry and Lieawatha Warren declined to pay the higher “voluntary” Tax Rate. They could have paid 5.75%, but chose to pay the standard 5.20% Rate. Cheap SOB’s.

At least Lieawatha didn’t hide her Canoe in Rhode Island to avoid paying Wampum to the Paleface MA Taxman.

[Bringbackthedraft]

They are so called “experts” that’s all. That doesn’t make them experts though. ................................ Typical Democrat titles for their people. If you register as a Democrat you become an instant a genius, because there is no one smarter than they are. Your success and degrees mean nothing unless you are one of them.

[italianquaker]

withholding changes start in February, that is real money not media bs

[spokeshave]

but most experts...and that would be Economists.....
