In the senate, everyone has to use this antiquated system. In the house, it’s so much more streamlined and efficient.

The House would never get anything accomplished with the way the Senate does things

Which makes sense considering the purpose of the Senate is to slow shiite down to a crawl and make passing legislation as difficult as possible for the majority in power. The Senate is there to protect minority parties and small states to ensure that laws are tough to pass and require a ton of concensus, compromise, and political will.

Naw baw. They ain't going back on their vote once they have publicly said that they were voting for it.
However, John McCain might kick the bucket before the vote with as slow as they are moving.

If this passes I think you’ll regret it in a few years.
Since when is cutting taxes without cutting spending fiscal conservatism? Maybe I’m just doomsaying here, but I doubt it.

There's never going to be any honest effort to cut spending. May as well let people keep more of their own money.

Economic growth will raise revenues. Also after the Repubs roll in 2018 thanks to thr growth they might not be as cucked with a big Senate advantage and allow Trump to cut shite.

I agree. And taxes should be kept as low as reasonably possible, but why can we not balance the budget in the process? This should add over a trillion to the deficit over the coming years.
One of these days that deficit will become unmanageable, and this bill does not make me confident that we’re heading in the right direction w/r/t that.

notice how once they get one or two votes away they always stop for like 10 minutes before the final votes get in

Unfortunately, you are 100% correct.

Quite frankly over the past year it’s seemed like the GOP is a dog chasing a car. They finally caught the car and now they have no idea what to do with it.
