“This was a bad deal for America”

Perhaps parts of it are, but it’s way better than no deal at all or another CR, and it gives the President some running room to fix what he really doesn’t like. The other good thing that’s happened as a result of the Tax Reform Bill is that government revenue is up. January it was up $18 billion. Achieving a vibrant economy is going to help the deficit by virtue of the increased incomes and consequent tax collections. Now the job is to shutter Federal Agencies that have no real purpose other than RAT jobs programs to buy votes, and to seriously curtail foreign aid and our “support” for the UN.

Damn, it’s good I got some hip-waders around here...The capitulation party rides again!

And HOW, pray tell, does the PRES. ‘fix’ *anything*. Unless it’s through Congress, he’d be doing the same BS (at least *I*) was crying Zero and the rest were doing: EO’s, edicts...UNCONSTITUTIONAL in every way.

Holly Schiff, now I’ve just about heard everything. An ‘(R)N(C)’ extolling GOVT obtaining MORE of our taxpayer $$$ as a GOOD thing *SMH*.

More bovine bloviation. The extra $$ will *NEVER* go towards the debt/deficit as Congress will, like THIS bill, just up the amount S-P-E-N-T.

Any increased revenue from an increase in incomes/tax collection will just be spent by Congress.

Congress is like somebody with no financial integrity or knowledge, who keeps getting credit card offers and keeps on filling them out and spending that money, because to them it's "free money".

That bill is going to come due someday, and our grandkids are going to be screwed.
