Republican Leaders to Oppose Trump Tax Cuts
The Gateway Pundit ^ | December 12, 2016 | Jim Hoft

You just knew this was coming… Republican leader Mitch McConnell warned today he will not pass Donald Trump’s tax cuts.

Senate Majority Leader McConnell has a different plan. Bloomberg.com reported:

President-elect Donald Trump’s race to enact the biggest tax cuts since the 1980s went under a caution flag Monday as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell warned he considers current levels of U.S. debt “dangerous” and said he wants any tax overhaul to avoid adding to the deficit.

“I think this level of national debt is dangerous and unacceptable,” McConnell said, adding he hopes Congress doesn’t lose sight of that when it acts next year. “My preference on tax reform is that it be revenue neutral,” he said.

Tax RATE cuts increase tax REVENUE. See Harding, Kennedy and Reagan and the revenues in the years following the cuts.

The man who allowed Obama to increase our national debt by $10 trillion in just 8 years is now concerned about debt with a Republican POTUS.

The art of the deal. Trump makes his offer and they make theirs. Odds are it’ll come out declared as a win/win with Trump clearly in command.

If not, the 2019 midterms will remove some of the obstacles.

My contempt for this man grows daily.

Offsets? Oh yeah, we can give them offsets alright. How about a 30% reduction in federal employees? Oh, they’ve stepped in it here.......

We stopped “comprehensive immigration reform” (AKA “amnesty”) TWICE by melting down the Washington DC phone lines.

All Trump has to do is Tweet.

We will see what they are thinking after Trump goes after them for a year and supports their primary opponents. They are up against a Force of Nature.

If we repeal Obamacare, secure the border, and start deporting large numbers of illegals (all three), I’m okay with a delay in the tax cuts. More has to be done, but that alone would be an excellent start.

Then President Trump would have to work on rolling back the lost freedoms of the past few decades, and rolling back the size of the federal government. And then the tax cuts.

This is all a show folks. Does anyone really think Mitch is going to obstruct Trump's economic agenda, especially with Preibus as Trump's Chief of Staff?

Mitch is putting up this fight so he can tell his Ruling Class buddies that he at least tried to stop Trump. But in the end, he's going to negotiate with Trump and Trump is going to get the best deal out of it.

Don't worry about this - let's wait until Trump gets safely inaugurated first before worrying about policy.

Mitch and Lindsey are probably both pedophiles.

Mitch didn’t win this election. Donald Trump did. Now he’s morphing into Harry Reid. Here’s hoping Mitch gets steamrolled.
