    That's not a big, but a feature.

    It will be such a pleasure to vote against this fat sack of dung next November. He's so far up Schumers behind I can't tell where Schumer ends and Tester begins.

    You got to be ******** me. WTF!!!

    This is like the little fat boy finding a box of chocolates in a school classroom. He will eat it as fast as he can before anyone finds out what he did was wrong.

    So policy wise what do you have against him?

    Is he too rational for you and doesn't want to give more wealth to a group of humans holding on to the most wealth in mankind history while raising the deficit by 1.8 trillion?

    I've looked into it and I'm getting a doubling of the standard deduction, a lower rate, and a repeal of the individual mandate which also costs me money (as well as being something I completely disagree with).

    Tester is against that. He's screwing me over.

    Yes, my dislike of this sack of dung is rational.

    p.s. If you and Tester are so concerned about the debt, I'd sure like to know where you both were during the 8 years of the Obama admin when it almost doubled the national debt.

    This tax bill isn't just increasing the debt. It's increasing the deficit. The deficit could actually decrease and the debt would continue to go up. Increasing the deficit is even more reckless than increasing the debt.

    We are seriously reaching the point where we can't exist as a country anymore.

    GOP congressman want to believe in alternate reality, fine. Want to have a demented petty dipshit as unassailable dictator in chief, fine - live and let live. Want to destroy younger generations chance at a secure future because... I don't know, spite? The kochs? Who the **** knows...fine, I guess.

    But that is not the America most of us signed up for. It's certainly not the one that more people voted for last year.

    Unfortunately we have this constitution that is only as good as the people willing to guard it, and obviously they are not willing to do so.

    Trumps presence alone is proof of this....but the absolute nightmare of this needlessly awful bill and the unwillingness of the so called moderates to take a stand is proof of how untenable everything is.

    This is not just the path the electoral or political destruction it's the path to actual national disintegration

    If in 2010 the Democrats had passed legislation at midnight that secretly brought in Death panels (handwritten in the margins) and abolished private insurance, via a reconciliation bill - that would be an unconscionable violation of the social contract.

    That didn't happen - but that is happening now

    Funny, I remember when republicans complained of the size of the ACA bill and that no one read it. And here they are with a huge bill scrawled in pencil!

    If you REALLY want to decrease the deficit, then make suggestions to your representative about cutting things from the budget we can't afford. Oh, and watch it fall on deaf ears.

    Wake me up in 8 years when we are protesting in the street because of extreme austerity bills.

    This is what will happen - cut taxes on the rich during a boom recklessly increasing the deficit without concern which cause inflationary effects resulting in higher interest rates which lead to defaults and declining biz activity aka recession. And when the public ousts the idiots who did this and elect Dems....blame the newly elected Democratic president for reckless spending ballooning the deficit when they have to bailout the economy. Where have we seen before????

    I'm very excited about this tax reform. Bussiness will be booming. Very happy for our future.
