White House Pushes Back on McConnell: We're Getting Tax Reform Done By August
Townhall ^ | 3/9/2017 | Katie Pavlich

But the White House is strongly pushing back on McConnell's increased timeline, with Press Secretary Sean Spicer saying the August deadline for a comprehensive tax overhaul still stands.

"I think we feel confident that we're going to get a lot done," Spicer said.

That begs the question. For them to, "Get rid of Trump", would that require evidence of wrong doing or law breaking on Trumps part?

Like this whole, "The Russians did it" charade, they have zip, nothing.

That's what motivated him to launch a short-lived campaign for president on the Reform Party ticket in 2000.

He dropped out of the race after determining that there was no way in hell a third-party candidate could ever win a presidential election in the U.S.

I’d go further. He is such a loser he has no idea what it is like to be a winner.

Trump has a hostage in Elaine Chao—McTurtle’s wife.

The question is, at what point does he use her?

I mean, things could go very badly if, for example, classified information to which she was not privy showed up on her computer.

Senator Kentucky Fried McChickenShit better get his act together.

McConnell and Ryan both need to be replaced by men with balls. These two have been bending over and grabbing their ankles for so long they don't know how to fight.

It’s time to force the turtle to resign. By ANY means necessary.

I detest Obama but he is a Democrat. As for Ryan and McConnell, since they claim to be Republicans, I detest them more than Obama as they are not even what they claim to be.

Can they say rush through corporate tax reform and leave individual taxes for a later date? I think a lot, such as businesses moving back to America, is hanging on that corporate tax reduction.

I fear the lowering of taxes and the raising of interest rates by the feds will slow down the economy. There is nothing happening in the economy to indicate the feds should raise rates. Wages are flat and 1 in 4 Americans are on a Government subsidy. We will all be buying discounted stocks sometime in the next year and a half or sooner.

Trump needs to start embarrassing these clowns. Mock them for taking too many days off. Like Ryan, who scheduled only EIGHT working days in April.

Agreed. We are at what, 1% GDP growth? I'm concerned about raising interest also, but we've been at near zero percent, where everything has been so cheap, it's artificial in price. I'm hoping the raises in interest are very slight and drawn out.

Unfortunately, Trump is no where near being in charge of anything in the economy. We are racing towards the $20 Trillion debt ceiling, which will be just a 2-3 months away. We need tax reform implemented soon and a raising of the debt ceiling to give us room to breath, to allow things time to kick in.

Trump wants to spend $1 Trillion on infrastructure, but can't do that without money. Borrowed or earned.

Tax laws need to be changed, to allow money left outside the country to come back in, without it being taxed to oblivion.

McTurtle got his easy peasy day schedule. And he can’t miss his long Summer vacation.

Mcconnel is just a pretend fighter.

He doesn't even pretend very well.

NUKE the Filibuster or Trump will be nuked by the Senate Rinos. Tax reform needs to help US stay under the debt ceiling.

Don’t Raise the Debt Ceiling.....the main thing that is missing in Trump’s plan to make America Great Again is

SACRIFICE.

We American people must sacrifice to get back into first place and be the best. You don’t do that without pain and sacrifice and HARD WORK. Nobody does.

It wouldn't greatly surprise me that if Trump gets PO'ed enough he might groom his own guy in Kentucky and then promote him in a primary challenge.

Looks like President Trump may have to pull the moniker “low energy” away from Jebbers and award it to the Turdle.
