1. Time for the House

to vote on a middle class tax cut, with an increase at the top level, and send it to Moscow Mitch. Call it something like the China trade war protection act.

3. He is an embarassment

What an idiot. I'm sure he does Not mean that the filthy rich capitalist kings should accept the pain. The pain is just for the rest of us.

4. There they go with the tax break noise again

First off, with the kind of numbers we have concerning more than half of Americans struggling desperately just to stay afloat, telling them that they have to endure more pain is absolutely ludicrous and atrocious. That is not going to sit well, not only signals the problem with the trade war, but is very bad for morale.

Then, the article conjures the dubious specter of that assumed amount of tax breaks people received. From what I have seen that $1000 they are floating can only apply to a small number of non-billionaires, so how do the tariff effects wipe it out? That is a problem with how they are rigging up their numbers. So, it will cost many Americans what they didn't get in the first place, (with many also owing more last tax season).

No, it seems like they are trying to indicate that the net loss would be around zero when, for many people it will be that much less that they have to spend and gee, economy?

So, how to build economic decline quickly? The Art of the Recession, a new book ghost written for Nuclear-T and the Shock and Awe Team? The vultures fly high these days.

5. Congress will give themselves another raise.

They insulate themselves from the havoc they wreak. This man is vile.

6. The "pain" sure as hell won't affect Graham. Do as I say, not as I do.

Legal congressional insider trading, an issue that the newly elected President Obama vowed to end, has done wonders the lowly paid congressperson.

As for the rest of us,eat oatmeal.

7. Floggings will continue until morale improves...

8. Hang on!

People were promised 'Winning!'

So much winning, you would get sick of winning!

It's now morphed into 'Accept the pain, don't complain?'

9. The Tax scam + the Tariffs. One more 'good deal' and we are bankrupt

10. Graham doesn't frequent Walmart

Why do those who hold power and obscene wealth tell us to "accept the pain" of their policies?
