[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you know "nobody" wants these things?  Where is there specific polling on them?   Just because GOP members of congress don't want them doesn't mean their constituents don't want them.  Long history of GOP not delivering on what their constituents need - red districts typically lag far behind blue districts on healthcare, college access, economic development, etc...[/quote]
NP.  Why not publish a list of proposals accounting for every penny and then another list of how these spending proposals will be paid for?  I think if people saw that there would be more excitement for the bill.  Does one already exist and I missed it?[/quote]

Yeah, you missed it.  And particularly, you missed the part where the proposals were laid out showing how it would be paid for by taxes and other revenue and have zero net cost.  Conservative media made idiots of themselves for mocking analysts who said no cost "OH HOW CAN IT NOT COST ANYTHING!", not understanding the concept of NET cost.  Along with also consistently getting things wrong, like the fact that it's $3.5T expense (offset by revenue) OVER 10 YEARS ($350B a year) plus huge ROI returns, as opposed to Trump who increased the debt by $7T with zero offset and little to show for it.

Seriously, the party that's supposed to be the party of business is so damn embarrassing to the world when they demonstrate their failure to understand basic business concepts like net cost (vs gross expenditure) and ROI. [/quote]
