Pffft. Like they couldn’t drum up another phoney baloney crisis or get Pubs to trade tax hikes for magic beans. Anyway, they don’t need to bother with oldfashioned laws and parliamentary procedure. They can tax at will through the money supply, at least until its price inevitably skyrockets. But by then Keynes said we’d all be dead.
Except in this case all the taxes went up Jan 1 to Jan 2 so technically the Obama-McConnnell bill only cut taxes not raised them. The massive lie was that blocking everything kept taxes from going up. Did anyone telling it really believe it?
The House Fwightened Wabbit symbolic vote crowd should have joined together for plan B which had less taxes and no spending.
Rejecting that assured that O-M would write the final bill and they would have no say. which is probably what many wanted anyway .
