What started out as tax reform to lower corporate tax rates has morphed into a tax break for everyone, with no losers except our grandchildren. It goes back to the real root cause of this country’s problems, our elected leaders refuse to make the tough decisions for fear of being voted out and having to work for a living like the rest of us. That said it is a formula that works every time and will repeat in Nov 2018. There is nothing Americans like any better than something for nothing, whether it is EBT cards or gains in the stock market driven by deficiet spending. IMHO

For all his faults, the Titanic’s captain did not actually design the iceberg that sank his ship. The Republican leadership, on the other hand…. Even if we forget about their impact on the deficit (and we shouldn’t), the Republican tax plans have been characterized by extraordinarily sloppy thinking, so sloppy indeed that it’s impossible not to wonder what, if anything, was going through the heads of the GOP leadership."

You couldn't be more wrong...

Nobody will "pay off" that debt...right now it's over $60,000 per citizen...EVERY man, woman, AND child. It'll just keep adding up...

They make "tough" decisions all right...HOW to loot the treasury and stick us with the bill.

And no...they DON'T want to "work" like the rest of us.

Borrow borrow borrow...that's how they're keeping it all going...borrowing OVER a $ trillion each year.
