So you are supporting killing the current tax cut because you want them to reduce the budget first? Well, sorry to break the news to you, but Congress is not going to shrink government. Maybe in some hypothetical world, but not in the real world, not in the current political landscape. RINOs and even conservatives team up with dems to support higher spending on everything except a few token items.

Thus our choices are the current imperfect tax bill to help grow the economy, or nothing. Economic growth is inevitable after Obama's economic strangulation but it will be much higher with the corporate rate cut. At that point we might get enough republicans elected to make something more than token cuts.

So I am telling you what America actually needs. This tax bill is smoke and mirrors. The Swamp wants people to be nattering mindlessly about the meaningless details of how it gives with the left hand and takes away with the right.

Meanwhile, NOBODY, not even St. Donald the Wonderworker, is talking about the real problem:

1) Government is too big. It must be reduced in size.

2) Government attempts to control and to engage in too much activity. It must be reduced in scope to that which is specified in the constitution.

3) Government is too powerful. It presumes to exercise far more control over the activities of We the People than the Constitution authorizes.

and because of these things

4) Government is too expensive. The amount of money spent by government must be reduced. Government does not make America great. Government is the problem, not the solution.

Thus our choices are the current imperfect tax bill to help grow the economy, or nothing.

And that is a meaningless choice, the only kind The Swamp wants you to have.
