Isn't that the same as obligating the government for things it can not pay for? Isn't this fraud? All of the reviews of this cluster f_ck have said a minimum of a trillion and probably more. This is fiscal conservatism at it's best? Does this nation not deserve better than this?

Can we, the nation, file a class action suit against the US government halting the implementation of this legislation? I've heard some say that parts of this are also illegal.

Can we, the people, prevent implementation?

700 pages were added tonight. They did not read the bill or the amendments, yet will vote blindly.

These are our Representatives?

They are not our representatives. They are treating the American people with so much disrespect.

Plus they are lying saying this will help the middle class there is no truth to that assumption.

And tRump does not give a shit about this tax cut and who it affects.
