Please don't insult Budd Dwyer's memory by comparing him to Trump.

Dwyer shot himself so his family would still benefit from his state pension. Would Trump do the same?

There are still a bunch of amendments to go through, but the most likely answer is that yes it will pass as there's no significant pushback from any republicans at all. It differs enough from the house bill that they'll have to re-do it in committee anyways, but it's going to pass the senate.

Republicans are blanket passing every GOP amendment that comes up. There isn't even an actual typed, legible copy of the bill, its all hand scribbled in margins but thats good enough. The bill will pass and it will go to Committee where I think even the HFC will sign off since they all just want something done since their donors will kill them otherwise.

Nah they're not. They even just stripped out the special tax exemption they put in for Betsy's pet college.

Final vote is coming up soon.

I think the house will just rubber stamp this. Either way, this will pass them and the senate again in some form and the wealthiest in the nation get to take a trillion and a half out of everyone else's pocket.

This bill is going to crash the housing market in a lot of places because home values are going to drop between 15-20% just because of the loss of the mortgage interest deduction along with all of the other lost deductions all so the wealthiest can write off another jet.

This bill is going to crater the economy in a bad way.

I think that MBAs are useful, in case you are looking for an answer to the question of "Is lightpole a total fucking idiot".
They have not analyzed the effects in whole, just bits an pieces. The economy is close to full capacity, companies have already said they will return wealth to shareholders, not employees, the Fed will start raising rates, there is no need for stimulus, deficit, tax rises on most of the population, cuts to welfare etc

If the Fed just says gently caress it and raises rates back to 5 or 6% than great, do it. Let the rich suffer and the poor suffer more. Gotta pull teeth at some point. JUST DO IT

Every bit of this page is gold

quote:

Since the Trump administration is committed to using 12th-century military technology to protect our country from Mexican invaders, we have responded in kind by building a 30-foot trebuchet, a medieval catapult designed to destroy walls. We paid 300 gold to increase its attack damage, so it’s very powerful. [...] For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. We cannot possibly overstate that we are not going to crush Trump’s twenty-billion-dollar wall with our totally badass trebuchet. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.
