In that I ignore what's in the papers and will do so until a bill is passed signed and delivered because right now its speculation and all noise

consider, the GAO has always been lousy at prediction. All one has do is look back at Obamacare predictions.

Its abundantly clear that corporations and all small businesses have to be given better tax rates less regulations ,etc because they are the ones producing jobs.

As to manufacturing jobs can we really ever go back? So many industries have a global presence that we clearly are not looking at 1950-60's style manufacturing jobs. Add to that technology and add to that the numerous technical skills lost along the way. Workers possessing trade skills are a premium in this nation today.

Some are obsessed about taxing the rich more. The rich will always create ways to escape their tax responsibilities.

Beside even if you could, taxing the rich more does not really put more money in the average Joe's pocket. Politician like to sell that trope but in reality it just isn't so

Budgets have been and are so overstated that a claim of a tax cut really doesn't pan out to the stated claim. Essentially it is all smoke and mirrors

Spending is the really big issue and spending is what drives the need for taxes but have you noticed there is never much talk about responsible spending.

And spending is a result of well defined goals, priorities and objectives. Presently we have half of Congress not even participating and too many folks obsessed over Trump the man vis a vis Trump the President and hence not a healthy climate.
