If the tax bill is so great for everyone, why no hearings?

No expert analysis. No discussion of its practical effects. No scrutiny. Yet here we have Trumpists saying it's all unicorns and love. I don't buy it.

You can send your federal income tax savings to me if you feel that strongly about it.

Do you want more of your own money or not? If not, please forward that excess money to me. TIA

There were debates in Congress. The Dems could site anyone they wished. Instead they relied on one strategy: THIS ROBS POOR PETER TO PAY BILLIONAIRE PAUL!

I guess the experts at the CBO, and all over Wall Street don’t count? Look at the Market, you don’t think it hasn’t been weighed and measured.

Honestly not a lot of need for it when you have the votes.

What you would have would be hours of testimony about how this family in NJ will not benefit, how that family in California will not benefit and how that one person in Missouri will not benefit.

People already thinks that Congress takes too long to get anything done. They have had feed back and made changes and deals and agreements what would be the point---to go line by line and listen to the gripes.

You didn't watch the senate proceedings on this obviously. This false claim of "no hearings' was clearly debunked. GOP members of the Finance Committee listed the numerous hearings that were held. I believe they listed dates and times of 8 specific hearings on the bill. Most of the Dems didn't even bother to attend.

This is what happens. You got to pass this first. You know the drill. The precedent was set. Enjoy.

Wrong. I've personally read numerous "expert analyses" of the tax proposal.

Wrong and ditto of above.

No scrutiny.
Good grief: wrong again.

Doesn't take any expert analysis.

Everyone except the upper 10% in Blue states(High State income tax) pay less tax after this law goes in effect.
