First off, remember when this guy briefly pretending to be like, honest and objective? LOL


But more important, what the **** is he even talking about?

I'm not sure what you mean by sunset but it definitely adds to the deficit, a conservative economist said so on NPR this morning.

So much for that contract to the American people eh.

He should have set him up with, "Can you guarantee that the wealthy - business owners, investors, heirs, CEOs, will pay less taxes?"

I'm sure this was posted yesterday, but lol Trump's "tax plan."

"Listening sessions with stakeholders" -- we're gonna take meetings with heads of big corporations who will get to write the tax bill.

Big money got a heavy hand
Big money take control
Big money got a mean streak
Big money got no soul

LoL Trumps tweetstorm this morning was ****ing ridiculous.

Politics!

He could say "But we will veto any legislation which does" and at least continue pretending.

that last tweet storm is amazing.

Government is going to shut down because Trump is incompetent. Thats it

Never thought I'd see late stage Rush posted itt. But here we are.

Sunset means expire. You're allowed to add to use reconciliation to add to the deficit if the provisions are temporary.

Meltdown.

Someone needs to ask him what he intends to do about all the Puerto Ricans flooding into the US without green cards.

There is absolutely no way that the one-page "plan" passes even the House. Just picking on one item in particular - there is no chance that House Republicans will pass a plan that removes the deductibility of state and local income taxes.

There has been too much noise historically (from the Republican side) about the heinous crime of double taxation in the corporate context - "How can you tax dividends when that income has already been taxed at the corporate level?". Same thing is true if you remove state and local income tax deductibility - you get taxed on the same dollar of income at multiple levels, without any credits/deductions for the taxes paid at other levels.

There's not even a point discussing this one-page outline, because nothing like it will ever pass the House. Let alone the Senate.

We need to move on, as a country, from the Midwest before it takes us all down with it. A bunch of ignorant racist morons who refuse to see facts. Terrible.

SC,

You're making the mistake of thinking Republicans' rhetoric means anything. What they say is meaningless.

that's when the republicans propose a tax cut they know will exacerbate the budget deficit, but before they scream bloody murder about a democrat tax hike when it's not extended

Well often it has a meaning but that meaning is the exact opposite of the meaning human beings generally attach to the words. e.g. "We will help middle class americans" means "prepare your butts for the poverty line losers".

That tax plan really is amazing.

You know Trump basically said "OK, we need to make taxes easier. I want a one page tax plan. It will be the best. Go!" (Pushes red button and orders a coke)

"This thing with the tweets, you know, he just shoots from the hip, and then he has to back up from it"

he backs away from his statements? or he backs up his statements? somehow the pittsburgh focus group included russian internet trolls struggling with the language barrier

The Midwest does not claim Pittsburgh.

tbh, I'm insanely jealous of his Coke button

I for one am quite happy that all his red button does is summon Coke.
