What about GOOD fiscal policy? The proposed plan will balloon the debt and only spike the economy by about .4% Doesn't seem worth it at all. |
Th proposed tax plan is one that you approve of? It's good fiscal policy to you? |
I am envisioning you as Poldark’s Aunt as I read this over and over. |
Aunt Agatha is awesome. |
Actually Goldman Sachs is estimating it will only boost GDP by between 0.1 and 0.2% for two years with no impact beyond that. Laughable (or Laffer-able!). |
The GOP should realize that if they can show the backbone to do the right thing before it is too late, even before passing all the crap they hope to smuggle through, they may actually win voters.
If they wait, putting everyone at risk of life and limb, just to pass some laws that will be easily undone by the next administration, they are doomed. |
+1 Love her. She'd spit on Trump and curse him. Along with his idiot supporters. |
Question if the day: can I fully enjoy my tax cut from a nuclear fallout shelter or in some post-nuclear society? |
An economist with a sense of humor. Crappy pun, but you aren’t totally lost to your slide rule. |
+1 that ^PP R is a moron. That tax policy will increase this country's debt. http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-tax-reform-plan-federal-deficit-debt-study-2017-9 https://www.brookings.edu/opinions/donald-trumps-tax-plan-could-land-america-10-trillion-deeper-in-debt/ --signed a former R |
Those R congressmen are dumb. Anti-Trumpers already knew Trump was unhinged. Heck, even HRC knew it, and she knew him personally before the campaign. |
They don’t want to face voters in ’18 or ’20 without something to show for it.
This is the key: establishment republicans are scared for their jobs, so they are blaming Trump for upsetting their cozy little apple carts. |
Kind of a big risk, ya know? |

Good for Corker for belatedly speaking the truth with his "adult daycare" remarks. It's becoming more acceptable to talk about Trump's mental state now. Anyone who has experienced a parent with Alzheimer's or dementia can see some warning signs with our President. |
