when did you all of a sudden start to give a frick about the deficit eh?


I don't, but you do. Enough that you're about to cut vital services to the neediest Americans on the pretense that the deficit is out of control.

When, clearly, it's not so far out of control that you can't support a tax cut for corporations and the rich.

The corporate tax cuts have no end date, the individual tax cuts do. In the law as written. That's a pretty simple concept, even you should get it.

Thanks for refuting your own point with the graph you posted. In 2027, this is a tax hike for >50% of families. But not the rich ones, so your ignorant ideology tells you that's okay.

Until the next congressional body comes along that can change it back, if they so desire.

THAT is because of dumb rules for bills passed with reconciliation.

The past tax cuts were "sunset" too and were re-authorized when they were expiring. These will, also.



goofiness, I agree. But, they actually could NOT (by rule) do it with "permanent" individual cuts.

Eh, this is their version of the R's refusal to vote for Obamacare. They have the luxury of making an ideological stand because they knew it would pass regardless.


That may be true but the democrats received all the glory of Obamacare. LOL

The republicans will receive all the glory of this and the roaring economy that it and the other things our President has done for us. Such as regulation repeal, pro America policies, and better deals for us all.

Even the liberals will get to ride this economic wave of prosperity.
