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.

“I think this level of national debt is dangerous and unacceptable,” McConnell said, You idiot Turtle Face—you aided and abetted this national debt. Still have not got the message McDumbo. Freeze federal spending, abolish alphabet agencies; instead, business as usual for the Rinos.

Can anyone remind me one thing McConnell objected to

In a couple cases he decided Obama wasn't spending enough so they raised his ask a little.

There is one Doughty. :)

My mistake. So he did stand up to Obama after all. “Hey Obama, you’re not asking for enough spending.”

Political posturing has no meaning. Is just talk to sound relevant.

The headline is so misleading. Wanting it to be revenue neutral is why Trump and Paul Ryan are 5% away. Trump keeps saying 15% and Paul Ryan keeps saying 20%. They will work it out and it will be revenue neutral at 18%. Trump isn’t an idiot and he’s not an ideologue. They’ll get it as low as they can and it will pass with bi-partisan support. Stop posting “news” from this site

KY and SC are so red it’s blinding. I can’t believe the squishes than are elected there. AZ was pretty red for awhile too and they still kept putting the “hero” in
