[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I would have liked to see the tax bill give more to the middle class earners but my question is why did the Democrats not take the initiative when they had the presidency, the senate and the house under their control from 2008 to 2010. [/b]Instead of doing this they focused on ACA which is now collapsing because it was structurally unsound.  They passed a $700+ billion spending stimulus and what lasting benefit did we see from that legislation? Why are Democrats always associated with tax increases and increased social spending?

Yes, the tax bill will result in an increase in the national debt if there is not increased GDP and time will tell if that happens. But Democrats are the last people who should talk about deficits given that the debt just about doubled from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight years that Obama was in office during this period.

The next thing we need is welfare reform and I'd love to see the Democrats take the initiative on this because since Clinton did it in the mid-90s - and what he did was commendable - we have not had any significant welfare reform. The same holds true regarding what will replace ACA - rather than Schumer and Pelosi saying that they are only open to fixes to ACA they should be willing to work with the Republicans to come up with something that is viable even if it bears no resemblance to ACA. If they don't do so, they can't stay aloof and then blame whatever product the Republicans come up with.[/quote]

Because tax cuts weren’t needed?  [/quote]
