The sprawling plan would cut the corporate tax rate dramatically and provide new breaks for other businesses. It also would lower income tax bills in 2018 for the vast majority of households, though the wealthy would see far more relief than the middle class and working poor. The plan would revise nearly every part of the tax system by lowering income tax rates at all levels and restructuring deductions. And it extends beyond taxes and into health care by scrapping a central part of the Affordable Care Act.". The appalling GOP tax plan has passed just waiting for Trump to sign it. The plan that hurts almost everybody and benefits the wealthy few. There is so much wrong with this no post could cover it.

I benefit from this bill on a personal basis BUT I know this is a dreadful bill and nothing cold get me to celebrate it. Anybody who knows anything knows that the corporations are NOT going to invest the money they derive from this bill. How? They told us at a recent conference. So unless you are in favor of raising the deficit and watching someone knee deep in investigations take a bow for only his 2nd achievement you should not be celebrating. |

My guess is they will invest in larger Golden Parachutes for the top execs. Thinking corporations are going not stuff their pockets is a foolish thought.
Raising the deficit 1 1/2 Trillion this is a sad day.

It's disgusting. There was a representative from Alaska (Republican and voted for the bill) who said, "This is the darkest day of the year," while praising Trump. These Republicans are all insane and dishonest. I guess they gave a Christmas gift to their donors.  Let's hope they get what they deserve. |

Actually they gave the tax cuts to themselves. trump and family make out very well but I doubt you would call them middle class. Just 3 more years to get through.

I remember Clinton a little (my parents didn't care for him) but from what I have read, there is no comparing him with Trump.
Trump is unqualified, and Clinton was very intelligent.
And when people sucked up to Obama, he would give them five minutes and get them back to business. Trump requires the sycophancy.

Still no proof?
But I agree Clinton was very intelligent as is Hillary. I agree trump isn't qualified but what I think doesn't matter.
I've read Clintons book and one of Hillary's and liked them both. But I think I liked Bill's best. Very detailed about why things were done the way they were and why some things couldn't be done. It was a long read but glad I read it.
Clinton was also an excellent speaker and explained things well and I think people grew to like him because of that.
trump speaks in adjectives and then repeats them over and over incase you missed them I guess.

I never minded Clinton at least at first.. but Hillary annoyed the hell out of me. Then when Clinton got a blow job in the oval office and tried to deny it, well that was it.. And apparently it wasn't his only transgression.. can't abide cheating on a spouse, even Hillary. LOL Excellent speakers are the product of excellent speech writers.. Trump is a horrible speaker but he is not a politician, he is a business man and not polished in the art of kissing butt.  |

Clinton wasn't the first and won't be the last cheater but that's there problem not mine. I liked what he did as a president. I liked Hillary because of how smart she is. But you mentioned Clintons other transgressions. What about Trumps transgressions, those don't matter or are fake news. Clinton was very good in the Town Hall meetings where ther wasn't a speech but just answering peoples questions. Can't imagine trump even trying something like that. Have you ever heard a good businessman speaker? I've heard a lot of good ones. That's why I like Rex Tillerson another businessman.
trump said Rex was wasting his time talking to Rocket-Man...always the name calling. Now he is warming up to the idea of negotiations. What happened to Rex just wasting his time. I think Rex will be gone soon and that is sad.

Clinton got caught with his pants down.. literally.. but as I said earlier.. no one is going to change the opinion of another. Human nature, so it's a mute point. You hate Trump, as others do. I like Trump as others do. So be it, I'm not changing your opinion and you aren't changing mine. We'll see if anyone else's has changed in the next election.

Oh, he just requires everyone else to kiss his fat, ugly "butt," as you put it. Pure class. |
