Don’t believe them when they whine about deficits instead of paying for hurricane relief. They are simply no longer believable on the subject, since they just blew a multi-trillion-dollar hole in the deficit just to hand it all to Wall Street. They will be lying through their teeth and hoping you all won’t figure it out. Tax breaks for corporations.īut they now have zero credibility to make this claim. They have in their DNA trickle-down economics. So who got conned? Did the people get conned by the promises? Did the president get conned by the Republicans? Is he signing a bill that betrays his promises to the American people? It’s all about the Republicans in Congress. But Republicans wrote a tax plan to explode the deficit and use it as an excuse to cut Medicare Medicaid ― they have made no secret of their plans and they have even said this week to raise the Social Security age. President Trump promised he would protect Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. Republicans wrote a tax scam that raises taxes on 86 million middle-class families in our country. President Trump promised a tax reform focused on the middle-class families ― tax breaks for middle-class families. President Trump promised to stop corporations from shipping jobs overseas, but Republicans wrote a tax scam that gives corporate America even bigger incentives to ship jobs overseas. Yet the Republicans wrote a tax scam that not only continues this outrageous loophole, but even has more loopholes the wealthy and well-connected. President Trump promised to eliminate the carried-interest loophole. President Trump will sign a bill that betrays the promises he made in the campaign. But who got conned? President Trump will sign a bill, whenever he signs it (I thought it was supposed to be today, but I hear the special interests are weighing for him to delay it for some reason or another). The GOP tax scam is a monumental con-job. So today, the Republicans take their victory lap for successfully pillaging the American middle class to benefit the powerful and the privileged. Shamefully, the Republicans were cheering against the children ― as they rob from their future and ransack the middle class to reward the rich. Our Republican colleagues stood on the floor and cheered, they cheered a bill that will raise taxes on 86 million middle class families and hand a staggering 83 percent of its tax cuts to the wealthiest one percent. (Pruitt denied wrongdoing and as far as we can tell, he never did manage to nab that used Trump Hotel mattress or a Chick-fil-A franchise for his wife.Yesterday, our Republican colleagues stood on this floor and voted for a GOP tax scam that the American people oppose two-to-one. chief resigned one year ago after racking up an almighty tab that included more than $900,000 on travel, $43,000 on a soundproof phone booth for his office, $1,560 on 12 fountain pens, courtside basketball tickets-a gift from a billionaire coal magnate-and so much more. So, each week we’ll be checking in on one of those junketeers to see how comfortably he or she has settled back into the swamp. But with the astonishing speed at which he burns through them-his staff turnover rate is higher than that of each of the five most recent presidents, according to a report from the Brookings Institution-there’s been scant opportunity to remember the fallen. It could be said that Trump’s unlikeliest promise was that he’d surround himself “only with the best and most serious people.” It could also be said that the revolving door of these “top of the line professionals” has been the most consistent aspect of his presidency.
