I am so friggin happy! I can’t wait!
It’s a start.
I am cautiously optimistic.
With McCain out of town, I’m not sure how this winds up.
It is disconcerting it will only pass by a vote or two, if it does.
There are too many morons like this:
Los Angeles Times Letter to the editor 12/19/2017:
To the editor: My wife and I are currently in the 33% marginal income tax bracket and will be in the 24% bracket under the new plan. With the proposed changes, our federal tax liability will probably decrease by about $8,000.
That’s nice for us, but it’s disgraceful morally since we have no need for that benefit while people who are poor or sick will not be helped by this bill. There is nothing material that we need, so we will not spend that money — rather, we will purchase more stocks that pay dividends, which are taxable at 15%.
The GOP tax plan is nothing more than a reward for the party’s donors and the wealthy. The poor get poorer and the rich get richer. This does not make America great.
Doug Emerson, Thousand Oaks
That is why Vice President Trump is here for.
I’m happy.
I agree. Honestly, there is no trust left in me for the U. S. Senate.
Saw a liberal friend of mine post this on Facebook:
“Trump’s budget plan SLASHES Social Security. It could devastate MILLIONS of seniors who count on Social Security to make ends-meet. Sign your name (and here she posts a link to one of those .org left wing things) to block Trump’s disastrous cuts to Social Security”.
Cannot find anything about Trump’s budget slashing SS. Does it or is this all based on fake news from the left? I’d like to answer her but don’t know what to say except I suspect this is left wing bunk.
I’m happy. I get a significant tax cut.

Instead of being happy about getting into a lower tax bracket and being able to keep more of their money that idiot is bitching about it.
My favorite comment I’ve read so far is how the tax cut won’t “trickle down” because employers are going to keep the tax cut instead of passing it on to employees.
Any noticeable tax break I can get will make me happy.
So what is stopping Doug Emerson from making an $8,000 contribution to St. Jude’s, Sloan-Kettering, the Shriner’s or any other worthy medical cause of his choice?
Doug, feel free to pay more taxes or donate your savings to charity.
It’s the rats that want to slash social security.
Can we actually work on cutting spending now?
Wonder what his DU username is?
