The Republicans are telling lie after lie.

Amendments are still being added.

No one, I repeat no one has read the bill because it is not finished.

Bernie kicked ass !!!!!!

EVIL FUCKING REPUBLICANS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

personal tax cuts are temporary corporate tax cuts are permanent. It is a bait and switch to be able to claim everyone gets a tax cut. the personal cuts are phased out over 4 years.

I will do better as well now since Collins got the mortgage interest tax credit put back in but again only in the short term. After 4 years nearly all individuals will pay more.

They are going to pay for this but I think they have made the calculation that they were going to get expelled anyway so they might as well set up their future jobs now.
