Democrats just offered an amendment to ensure corporations use their tax savings to raise employee wages at the same rate they increase executive pay, stock buybacks and dividends to shareholders.

Every single Republican voting, voted NO.

Senate GOP tax bill would add $1 trillion to the deficit, Congress’ analysts conclude

Absolutely brutal. Is there one credible report that backs the economic claims of the GOP or Trump?

They don't care. The higher deficit will be their excuse to cut Medicare and SS - that's always been the plan.

So this latest JCT analysis is a “dynamic “ score. Their original estimate was that the Senate plan would add $1.4 trillion to cumulative deficits. This estimate is assuming GDP will grow by an additional 0.8% on average which will bring in additional revenues. I think this is a pretty optimistic estimate of additional growth especially when you consider our demographic challenges (aging workforce).
So it looks like the Corker trigger might be used heavily.
What a mess

His sons aren't very good looking. But I guess one only has to look at the dad.

It was always only about killing the estate tax.
Suckers.

This passes, winning potus netted the Trump clan $1 billion PLUS.

It's passing. The filthy rich stay WINNING.

My only consolation is that he will probably be ousted by the Bannonites and will have to sit cheek and jowl with his good friend and teen dater Roy Moore.

Republicans have zero fiscal responsibility.

And Mitch McConnell is going down as the worst Senate President ever for shepherding through this piece of crap AND being a toady to Trump demagoguery.

JCT report on the GOP Tax Bill is far worse than anyone could have expected and yet, somehow, the GOP in the Senate will still pass it.

Horrid.

I never want to hear the GOP talk about fiscal restraint ever again.

Listen, you have to stop attacking Obama and his administration. This is really unfair.

So you expect your kids to make $30k or less when they grow up? You really think a lot of them. Luckily all the major economists know that this new tax policy will be great for America. Yep....everyone. Jobs, jobs, and more jobs. People who will currently see a tax increase under this plan won't be in that bracket much longer. They will all thank Trump.

Fake news. You troll.
