Tax law failed to save GOP majority

The biggest accomplishment for congressional Republicans — passing a sweeping new tax law at the end of 2017 — didn’t end up saving the GOP majority in the House.

The economy wasn’t the biggest issue of the midterm elections, according to exit polls, which found that a plurality of voters think the new tax law has not had any impact on their personal finances.

Democrats claimed victory on the issue.

“For 30 years, the powerful wealthy few ... have dictated tax policy on the Republican side. Cut the taxes of the rich, and that’s a great thing for America,” Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) told reporters Wednesday. “That’s over. I think our message, our focus, has put a knife through the heart of that argument.”

that is already doing good. No one was stressing that we were in a recession. Dumbass primed the pump and watch us roll into a recession and we will have no way to get out of it. Never ever prime a pump when the economy is doing good. econ 101.
