Have we heard from the 3 stooges?

[drewh]

McQueeg Corker and Collins?

[Caipirabob]

Mccain is touching himself just waiting to sink this deal.

[drewh]

if they get Collins no thumbs down for McQueeg

[RitaOK]

That’s what I was wondering, as well. Will Rand Paul be enough?

I will be pleasantly surprised if this Republican majority delivers a damn thing palatable to Trump. Just as probable is that it will be soo bad that he can not sign it and they can continue to drag him down the dirt road.

[plain talk]

If the Republicans are somehow able to get tax cuts through this will be BIG. I suspect the markets have already factored some of this into its calculus.

Also the converse is true — if they don’t get tax cuts I would expect some market slide and pushback.

[bitt]

market hopping and I’m hoping -ping

[LS]

If Paul and (as is reported) MurCowski are definitely in, that brings us to 50, Pence is the tiebreaker. We need Cochran back from his medical absence.

[MichaelCorleone]

5% GDP as far as the eye can see.

40,000 Dow here we come!

[painter]

5% GDP as far as the eye can see.

Or more! After the Reagan tax cuts the economy was running at 8% GDP some months!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

PAUL’S A KOOK! PAUL’S OFF HIS MEDS!

[Uncle Miltie]

Just enough swamp critters will be found to avoid meaningful action.

The Uniparty Rules.

The only difference between Democrats and Republicans is the lies they tell you before they steal your money and gain power over you.

[Owen]

These are not “TRUMP TAX CUTS”. These are swamp dweller tax cuts.

WHERE IS THE WALL?

WHERE IS REPEAL AND REPLACE?

NOTHING ELSE SHOULD PASS UNTIL THOSE ARE IN PLACE. TRUMP SHOULD VETO.

[Caipirabob]

Too late...the mental imagine I gave myself has ruined my day... 😳

[kjam22]

They have to deliver this. If they don’t the market will retreat, maybe a lot, and their donors will be very unhappy. This one is a win win for the republican part of the swamp.

[roadcat]

Zero Democrat votes means not bi-partisan. Mostly bi-parted down the middle. Hope we can say “bye” to more Democrats in 2018. Heck, we should just hope all the Democrats just die then we can have real prosperity.

[rb22982]

Ironically, I think if they gave Trump tax reform, the wall and healthcare reform in his first term, he would not run again. By not working with him, they virtually guarantee he will.

[raiderboy]

I support Rand 100% because he supports my views.

[SkyPilot]

This proposal calls for eliminating deductions that 44 million Americans claim (state and local tax deduction). That means this is a TAX INCREASE on the middle class so that corporations can get a massive rate cut! And corporations and businesses get to continue to claim the state and local tax deduction, but not individuals!

Screw the GOP and this bill!!!

I don't remember Donald Trump campaigning on raising my taxes.
